Production of Test Result
Specimen Storage
Once the specimen is received by the laboratory for processing, whole blood will be centrifuged to obtain serum. If the test tube is damaged or broken, the test applicant will be notified immediately. This serum will be processed immediately for routine testing or stored for non -routine testing. Please refer to the serum storage procedure table to know the stability of the specimen before testing. For HbA1c testing, specimens do not need to be centrifuged.
