Specimen Handling
1. Avoid exposure of specimen to atmosphere to prevent environmental contamination of the sample. . 2.Centrifuge and send entire specimen in original collection tube. Do not aliquot or open tube. The serum can be decanted into a suitable container that is free of interfering levels of (1-3)-B-D-glucan; however, the use of pour-off tubes is not recommended due to the potential for environmental contamination of the sample that can lead to false positive results. Serum samples which are transferred to sterile, leak-proof containers should be handled in a sterile cabinet. NOTE: If freezing sample, do not transfer to standard transfer tube. Specimen must be collected and frozen in in plastic SST PS#39999.
