Please label each specimen tube with two forms of patient identification. These forms of identification must also appear on the requisition form.
| Specimen Type: | Whole blood |
| Specimen Stability: | Room temperature: 10 days, Refrigerated: 10 days, Frozen: Unacceptable, |
| Specimen Requirements: | 8 mL (6 mL minimum) whole blood collected in two (lavender-top) EDTA tubes. Pediatric (0-3 years): 2 mL (1 mL minimum) |
| Instructions: | Higher blood volumes ensure adequate DNA quantity, which varies with WBC, specimen condition, and need for confirmatory testing. Patients, 0-3 years have higher WBC, yielding more DNA per mL of blood |
| Transport Temperature: | Room temperature |
| Set-up/Analytic Time: | 14-28 days |
