Storage/Transport: NOTE: If delivery time is to be greater than 4 hours from time of draw, centrifuge the sample for 15 minutes at 2000 - 2500g to ensure platelet poor plasma.
· Transfer plasma to 12x75 plastic tube
· Cap tube and re-spin for 15 minutes at 2000 - 2500g
· CAREFULLY remove from centrifuge without disturbing any platelets and/or cell pellets that might be on the bottom or sides of the tube.
· Carefully transfer plasma into freezer tubes (plastic screw-top cryo-tubes) for testing or freezing.
