Analysis of serum

7.3.2 Analysis of serum

For the analysis of serum, the 2 x 5mL Blood Samples, comprising of an "A" and a "B" Sample should be inverted gently five (5) times to initiate clotting and remain at room temperature for the time recommended by the tube manufacturer (15 minutes for BD Vacutainer® SST II advance tubes) before being sealed and made ready for transportation in accordance with section 7.4.

[7.3.2 Comment: For Samples collected that require being left at room temperature for a pre-determined length of time (as specified by the tube manufacturer), the Athlete should be asked and encouraged to remain and observe his/her Samples for this period of time. If the Athlete declines to do so, this in no way invalidates the test. The DCO should maintain these Samples under their observation and monitor the pre-determined period of time. The ADO may wish the DCO to record details of any Athlete that does not remain to observe their Samples during this period.]

  1. Thanks so much for this information. I have to let you know I concur on several of the points you make here and others may require some further review, but I can see your viewpoint. car accident chiropractor malden
