FRAT® Sample Information

Please note that FRAT^® requires a physician’s authorization and results are sent ONLY to physicians. Please consult with your medical professional before you order a FRAT^® kit.
If you are a patient, please consult your physician prior to submitting any sample for testing.

If you do not require a FRAT^® kit and would like to submit a sample, listed below are our Blood Sample Collection and Shipping Instructions:

Acceptable samples are whole blood and serum.
Draw 2–4 ml of blood into a red-top tube or SST tube (serum). Please note that the FRAT^® kit contains SST tubes.
If feasible: Remove red cells by centrifugation, transfer serum/plasma to clean tube and refrigerate (4°C) or freeze (-20°C) until time of shipping.
If whole blood must be sent, collect into red top tube and ship the same day. Do NOT freeze whole blood.
Ship stored serum/plasma with freezer packs. Ship whole blood at ambient temperature. If overnight shipment of serum/plasma is not possible or a lengthy transit time is anticipated, shipment with dry ice is recommended. Do NOT ship whole blood with dry ice.
Ship all tubes as PRIORITY OVERNIGHT using FedEx or UPS for delivery weekdays. No weekend or holiday deliveries will be accepted.
Minimum volume of serum or plasma acceptable is 1 ml (2 ml for whole blood).
Please make sure that each sample is properly and securely labeled, including name (or ID) and date.
