Specimen:
Plasma
Collection Medium:
 |
| Plasma Separator Tube |
Alternate
Collection Media:
Call laboratory for additional acceptable specimen collection containers.
Minimum:
3 mL whole blood from light green top tube or ONE microtainer for
pediatric patients.
Testing Schedule:
24 hrs/day, 7 days a week, including holidays.
Analytic Time:
1 hour (upon receipt in laboratory)
Reference Range:
13-60 U/L
Test
Limitations:
Criterion: Recovery within plus or minus 10% of initial values at a
lipase activity of 50 U/l.
Icterus: No significant interference up to an I index of 60
(approximate conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin concentration: 60
mg/dl).
Hemolysis: No significant interference up to an H index of 500
(approximate hemoglobin concentration: 500 mg/dl)
Lipemia (Intralipid): No significant interference up to an L index of
1000 (approximate triglycerides concentration: 2000 mg/dl). There is
poor correlation between turbidity and triglycerides concentration.
