Sending in Samples

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:

Blood Sample Collection and Shipping:

  • 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).
