Test Code
OXLDL
Specimen Name
Oxidized Low-density Lipoprotein (OxLDL)
Collect
1-EDTA
Submit
0.5 mL (Min: 0.2 mL) EDTA plasma
Special Handling
For plasma, draw blood into an EDTA tube and gently invert the tube 8 to 10 times to mix the anticoagulant. Centrifuge the tube, remove the stopper and draw off approximately 2/3 of the upper plasma layer into a labeled transport tube using a transfer pipet bulb. Note: This ensures the buffy coat of white cells and red cells remain undisturbed. Plasma must be separated from cells within 45 minutes of venipuncture. Send plasma in a frozen plastic transport tube.
Rejection Criteria
Specimen other than EDTA plasma; improper labeling; specimen not stored properly; specimen older than stability limits; hemolysis; lipemia; non-frozen sample received
