Collect the blood sample using normal venepuncture technique into a serum or plasma tube.
Samples should be sent to the laboratory on the same day as collection to ensure sample integrity is maintained. If a delay in receipt of the sample is anticipated, please contact the laboratory to discuss storage requirements.

Please access the referral laboratory website/laboratory handbook for information on reference ranges. Where required, reference ranges and/or interpretative comments provided by the external referral laboratory may be added to reports alongside results.
Results outside the reference range do not necessarily indicate disease. Similarly, results within the reference range do not preclude abnormality. Please contact the Duty Biochemist for discussion of individual patient results.

Factors that significantly affect result
There are a number of non-pathological factors that can influence levels of specific analytes, giving falsely elevated or reduced levels. If you require more information regarding the effects of these factors on the individual test results, please contact the Duty Biochemist.
For tests performed at an external referral laboratory, consider contacting the performing laboratory directly for specialist advice on the interpretation of results.
Serum/plasma samples are routinely screened for the presence of haemolysis, icterus and lipaemia. Results are not reported if one or more of these has been detected at levels deemed to have had a significant impact on the accuracy of the test.
