CADD290
Results
Daily. Performed each shift
Country
CA
Specimen
0.5 mL citrated plasma in blue top tube
Description
Prothrombin Time and aPTT

Prothrombin Time and Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time.

Interferences: marked hemolysis or lipemia. Partially full blue top tubes may falsely increase sample's coagulation time.

Note: clotting of the sample may preclude the analysis. The blue top tube needs to be filled to 2/3 or more of its capacity. Partially full blue top tubes may falsely increase coagulation times.

Specimen
1.0 mL EDTA whole blood in lavender top tube
Description
Reticulocytes, Absolute Reticulocytes

Includes an unadjusted reticulocyte percent and absolute reticulocyte count. Only aggregate reticulocytes are counted.

Interferences: marked hemolysis.
