Separate serum from cells ASAP or within 2 hours of collection and transfer into standard aliquot tube. | |
| 2 mL | Serum | SST (Gold) | Refrigerated | Multiple specimen tubes must be collected for this panel. This tube is for test: Aspergillus Ab, CF (ASPRCF) and Histoplasma Ab, CF (HISTCF). Separate serum from cells ASAP or within 2 hours of collection and transfer to standard aliquot tube. Parallel testing is preferred and convalescent specimens must be received within 30 days from receipt of the acute specimens. Label specimens plainly as 'acute' and 'convalescent.' |
