Transcription

1 *Body Fluid Specimens: The following types of body fluid may be tested at ANMC: Ascites, JP Drainage, pericardial, peritoneal, pleural, and synovial. The following tests may be performed on body fluid specimens at ANMC: Albumin, Amylase, Cell Count and Differential, Cholesterol, Creatinine, Glucose, LDH, Total Protein, and Triglycerides. Sample processing (fluid chemistry tests): Aliquot into Li-Heparin tube, mix well, centrifuge and then send supernatant for all tests except Cell Count and Culture. Sample processing (Cell Count and Diff): Aliquot into purple-top EDTA tube, mix well, do not centrifuge. Chemistry/Hepatitis (Panel Tests) Acute Hepatitis Panel (HAV IgM, HBV Room Temp: 2 Hr Core IgM, HBV Surface Ag, HCV Ab) Basic Metabolic Panel (Na, K, Cl, Glu, Refrigerated (2-8C): 7D CO2, BUN, Creat, Ca, GFR) Refrigerated Plasma (2-8C): 3D Chronic Hepatitis Screen (HAV Ab, HBV Core Ab, HBV Surface Ab, HCV Ab) Diabetes Chem Panel (Glu, Trig, Chol, HDL, LDL, Chol:HDL Ratio, AST, ALT, BUN, Creat, GFR, Na, K, Cl, CO2, Ca) ANMC Lab Test Requirements Updated 11/12/15 Key: Room Temp (20-25 C), Refrigerated (2-8 C), (-15 to -25 C), Hr (Hours), D (Days), W (Weeks), Mo (Months), Yr (Years). Basic Processing Instructions: Centrifuge all blood specimens (except "whole blood") and pour off supernatant (serum or plasma) into leak-proof transport tube. Leave "whole blood" specimens in primary collection tube. Seal lids tightly and use parafilm or tape around caps. for chemistry testing should be sent in a sterile red-top tube or carefully sealed urine cup. Urinalysis specimens must be sent using BD UA Preservative tubes (yellow/red). cultures must be sent using BD Culture Preservative tubes (grey). Collection Kit and Gel Orders: Clinics with ANMC Warehouse accounts may call (907) to place orders for the following items: BD urine preservative tube kits (Item # N50110), Aptima CT/NG/Trich urine collection kits (yellow) (Item # ), Aptima CT/NG/Trich vaginal collection kits (orange) (Item # ), Aptima CT/NG/Trich endocervix/urethra/eye/throat/rectal collection kits (purple "unisex") (Item # ), Gel cold packs (Item #s: X-Small: , Small: , Medium: ). Labeling: Each individual specimen must be labeled with collection date and time and at least two patient identifiers including full name and date of birth or ANMC MR#. Specimens with one or fewer identifiers will be rejected in the interest of patient safety. Minimum Volumes and Other Questions: Contact ANMC Lab (907) Transport (Temp and Labeling): Most specimens must be shipped with a gel cold pack. specimens must be shipped with dry ice. All shipments must be packaged and labeled according to all applicable state and federal regulations pertaining to shipping biological substances.
