Important Note

• Transport original tubes at room temperature.
• A separate ETDA (lavender top) tube must be submitted for all HLA testing. If submitted with any other test requiring an EDTA tube, please submit a separate tube for this test.
• DO NOT OPEN TUBE.
• If possible, avoid collecting on Fridays. To ensure that specimens can be processed prior to the 4-day stability, it is preferred that collections and submissions occur to arrive at Pathology Laboratory Monday through Thursday.
