<strong>Collection</strong> Kits and Devices<br />

Ova & Parasite<br />

These pink and gray Para-Pak vials are used for ova and parasite testing.<br />

Place stool into each vial until the red fill-line is reached and mix<br />

well to ensure preservation. Both vials must be submitted for the O&P<br />

exam. Giardia antigen may also be ordered separately. Cryptosporidium,<br />

Microsporidium, and Cyclospora examinations may be performed<br />

from a Para-Pak formalin vial, but must be ordered separately. Leave<br />

specimens at room temperature. Raw stool sample is unacceptable.<br />

Pinworm<br />

The pinworm paddle or “swube” will capture eggs of Enterobius<br />

Vermicularis (pinworm) for microscopic examination and subsequent<br />

identification. The sticky side of the paddle should be pressed to the<br />

perianal folds. Do not insert paddle into the anus. Do not cover paddle<br />

with stool. Place the paddle back into the plastic tube, cap tightly and leave<br />

at room temperature until laboratory pick-up.<br />

Processing Tubes<br />

The vacuum blood collection tube does not fill completely to the stopper, but only to the<br />

required level. Proper dilution of the blood and additive in the tube is critical. Be sure<br />

that each tube is allowed to fill until the blood flow stops. If unsure, wait an additional<br />

1-2 seconds before removing the tube from the holder and withdrawing the needle from<br />

the arm. Improperly filled tubes will be rejected by the laboratory, and the sample must<br />

be redrawn to ensure accurate results.<br />

REMEMBER: Always check the expiration date on tubes prior to collection. Expired tubes<br />

will NOT be processed by the laboratory, and the sample must be redrawn to ensure<br />

accurate results.<br />

WHY?<br />

• Most tubes contain an ADDITIVE or CLOT ACTIVATOR that needs to be<br />

mixed with the blood sample.<br />

• Tubes with anticoagulants such as EDTA need to be mixed to<br />

ensure the specimen does not clot.<br />

HOW?<br />

• Holding tube upright, gently invert 180º and back.<br />

• Repeat movement as prescribed for each tube.<br />

WHEN?<br />

• Immediately after drawing.<br />

CONSEQUENCES IF NOT MIXED —<br />

• Tubes with anticoagulants will clot.<br />

• SST tubes may not clot completely.<br />

• <strong>Specimen</strong> will often need to be redrawn.


Labeling <strong>Specimen</strong>s<br />

Jones, Mary 6-05-83<br />

2.2<br />

Processing Tubes and <strong>Specimen</strong>s<br />

Important reminder: 2 Identifiers needed<br />

on all specimen tubes and containers,<br />

including liquid based PAP Vials and<br />

Biopsy Bottles.<br />

Per College of American Pathologist (CAP) regulations<br />

ANP.11460, CYP. 03300 and Gen.40491, all primary specimen<br />

containers (the innermost container submitted to<br />

<strong>Sonora</strong> <strong>Quest</strong> <strong>Laboratories</strong> that contains the specimen<br />

tube tested) MUST be labeled with two patient identifiers.<br />

These patient identifiers include (in order of preference)<br />

but are not limited to:<br />

• Patient Name (First and Last)<br />

• Requisition Number or Bar Code Label<br />

• Patient Date of Birth<br />

• Unique Patient Identifier<br />

Patient indentifiers on the specimen container and the<br />

laboratory order form must match in order for the specimen<br />

to be processed. Please make sure to include the<br />

date and time of draw directly on the specimens for<br />

timed testing. Patient identifiers on specimen bags do not<br />

satisfy CAP requirements and cannot be used by <strong>Sonora</strong><br />

<strong>Quest</strong> <strong>Laboratories</strong>.<br />

Thank you for your assistance in ensuring that CAP<br />

requirements are being met.


<strong>Specimen</strong> Integrity<br />

An unspun or poorly spun specimen allows the cells contact with the serum<br />

or plasma. Metabolic changes occur until the specimen is properly spun.<br />

Delay in processing changes the composition of the specimen and could<br />

cause erroneous values.<br />

Centrifuge Operation<br />

3000 RPM is the common speed under most circumstances. The majority of<br />

samples require 10 – 15 minutes of centrifugation.<br />

Pipette Technique<br />

A pipette is used to remove the serum<br />

or plasma after a specimen has been<br />

spun.<br />

When using a pipette, be cautious not<br />

to disturb the red cells. If the red cells<br />

are disturbed, re-spin the specimen<br />

and begin pipette process again.<br />

Transfer the serum or plasma from the<br />

pipette into the transport vial and cap<br />

the vial. Store sample at the appropriate<br />

temperature as indicated for the<br />

testing requested.<br />

Send ONLY the transport vial to the<br />

laboratory for testing. DO NOT send<br />

the original tube.<br />

Pour Technique<br />

Slowly pour the required amount of serum into the transport<br />

vial and cap the vial. Store sample at the appropriate temperature<br />

as indicated for the testing requested. Do not pour a<br />

sample without a gel barrier in the specimen collection tube.<br />

Using the pipette technique is the appropriate method to<br />

remove serum or plasma from a non-gel barrier tube. Send<br />

ONLY the transport vial to the laboratory for testing. DO NOT<br />

send the original tube.


Microtainer Tubes<br />

u Place microtainer collection tube into a plain red-top 10 mL tube.<br />

u Cap the plain red-top 10 mL tube. Make sure the microtainer AND<br />

the plain red-top tube are labeled with the patient’s name and<br />

second identifier.<br />

Frozen Samples<br />

u DO NOT FREEZE GLASS TUBES!<br />

u Never leave frozen samples in your lock box unless they<br />

are stored in <strong>Sonora</strong> <strong>Quest</strong> <strong>Laboratories</strong>’ ConstanTemp<br />

Frozen <strong>Specimen</strong> Totes. These totes can be requested<br />

by contacting our Logistics Department at<br />

602.685.5052 or 520.886.8101. However, to ensure<br />

specimen stability, it is recommended that frozen<br />

samples be stored frozen in your office for pick up on<br />

the following business day rather than being left in<br />

a lockbox.<br />

u Make sure frozen samples are labeled with the patient name and a second<br />

identifier, date drawn, sample type (serum, plasma, etc.), and, if timed testing,<br />

label each sample with collection times (fasting, 30 minutes, etc.).<br />

u Check specimen requirements to see if serum or plasma needs to be aliquotted<br />

into a plastic vial prior to freezing.<br />

Multiple <strong>Specimen</strong> Temperatures<br />

u If ordering testing through our Care360 Online Orders & Results system, or<br />

sending patients to one of our Patient Service Centers, testing with different<br />

sample temperature submission requirements (room temperature, refrigerated,<br />

or frozen) may split on to separate laboratory requisitions for submission to the<br />

laboratory.<br />

u If ordering testing through an EMR or if using manual <strong>Sonora</strong> <strong>Quest</strong> <strong>Laboratories</strong><br />

test requisitions, please use separate requisitions for each sample temperature<br />

submitted. Copies of the original requisition are acceptable. Please make sure<br />

that only the tests to be performed off of each sample are marked on each requisition<br />

(i.e., cross off refrigerated testing on the requisition submitted for the<br />

frozen testing and vice versa).<br />

u Label all specimen bags with the appropriate temperature label (Room Temperature<br />

or Frozen). Refrigerated samples are most common and do not require a<br />

temperature label.<br />

u Please note that you may receive a separate report for each sample temperature<br />

submitted on the same patient.<br />
