Additional Specimen Information

RNA is highly unstable and specimens degrade rapidly. For optimum results samples should be sent in CPD tubes at room temperature and be received by this lab within 24 hours of collection. Although LabPlus operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the Molecular Haematology section only operates 9-5, Mon-Fri (excluding public holidays). Samples arriving on a Friday afternoon or a Saturday or Sunday may not get processed until the following Monday. Such delays can significantly compromise the quality of the sample.

Do not collect samples on a Friday, the weekend or the day falling immediately prior to a long weekend. These samples may be rejected and a re-collect required.

Put the sample and the FORM in the Molecular Haematology box with numbers. Room temperature. Do not spin. DO NOT DELAY .
