Lipo Profile; Lipoprotein Analysis, Expanded |
|
|
Serum |
|
|
Spun NMR LipoTube (preferred), serum from a plain red-top tube, plasma from a lavender-top (EDTA-no gel), or green-top (heparin-no gel) tube. |
|
|
Collect specimen in NMR LipoTube (black-and-yellow-top tube), which is the preferred container. Plain red-top, green-top (heparin-no gel), or lavender-top (EDTA-no gel) tubes are also acceptable. Serum or plasma drawn in gel-barrier collection tubes other than the NMR LipoTube should not be used. The LipoTube is the only acceptable gel-barrier tube. |

|
If triglyceride level is > 400 mg/dL, LDL cholesterol will not be calculated |
|
|
Patient should be fasting for eight hours. |
|
|
Allow specimen to clot for 30 minutes before centrifugation. Centrifuge within 24 hours of collection. |
|
|
Refrigerate all acceptable tube types as soon as possible after centrifugation and within 24 hours of collection. Keep refrigerated prior to shipment, and ship on frozen cool packs. Do not store at room temperature. Do not freeze the sample. Sample is stable refrigerated for six days. |
