Description

Notes
- Argatroban, bivalirudin, dabigatran, apixaban, or rivaroxaban anticoagulation interfere with some coagulation assays.
- When multiple tests are ordered simultaneously, a maximum of 5 blue top tubes is typically sufficient for all tests. Please contact the lab at 617-724-2969 for minimum volume requirements PRIOR to drawing more than 5 tubes.
- Clotted, underfilled or overfilled specimens give unreliable results and will be refused.
