The Coagulation Laboratory is located in Gray B-218 and is in operation
7 days a week, 8 am to 4:30 pm, except for holidays, it is closed. When the laboratory is closed,
specimens should be delivered to the Core Laboratory
on Gray 5. Many of the tests performed are of a batch nature.
NOTES:
- Argatroban or hirudin anticoagulation interfere with most coagulation
assays (see individual tests).
- When multiple tests are ordered simultaneously, a maximum of
5 blue top tubes is typically sufficient for all tests. Please
contact the lab for minimum volume requirements PRIOR to drawing
more than 5 tubes.
- Clotted, underfilled or overfilled specimens give unreliable
results and must be refused.
