<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.

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 />
