| Container |
Lavender Top Tube |
| Collection Instructions |
Container/Tube: Lavender (EDTA) Top Tube Specimen: Full Tube 10 mL EDTA/ascorbic acid mixture (see Collection below) Transport Temperature: 4 Hours Room Temperature 24 Hours Refrigerated 16 Days Frozen Collection Sample collection practices that prevent blood clotting and oxidation of serotonin are imperative. Collect three tubes (4 mL each) whole blood. Invert tubes at least ten times to ensure thorough distribution of EDTA. Immediately transfer 10 mL whole blood to transport tube containing 75 mg ascorbic acid. Thoroughly mix by inverting whole blood/ascorbic acid mixture another ten times. Freeze transport tube and send entire collection to the laboratory Patient Preparation Monoamine oxidase inhibitor drugs should be discontinued for at least one week prior to sampling since they tend to increase the level of serotonin. |
