Plasma: Collect blood in sterile tubes containing EDTA as an anticoagulant, or

in plasma preparation tube (PPT). Collect whole blood at room temperature

and separate plasma from cells within 2 hours of collection. Transfer plasma to
sterile, transport aliquot tubes. Freeze and ship frozen. Serum: Collect blood in

sterile tubes with no anticoagulants; Serum Separator Tubes (SST®) are
recommended. Allow blood to clot at room temperature and separate serum

within 1 hour of collection. Transfer serum to sterile, transport aliquot tubes.
Freeze and ship frozen. Whole Blood: Collect using standard procedures.

Store samples refrigerated following collection. Do not freeze whole blood.
