Instructions for the venous blood draw test:

  1. Centrifuge the sample (10 minutes at 3000 RPM) OR let it stand upright for a minimum of 30 minutes to separate blood cells from serum.
  2. If centrifuged – pipette off the serum and transfer it to the Transfer Tube.
  3. If not centrifuged – ensure the serum vacutainer is shipped to the Laboratory on the same day.

We recommend prioritising centrifugation, which eliminates the need for same-day posting.
