Integrity of Uncapped Routine Coagulation Specimens Processed in an Automated Integrated Laboratory |
Background: The validity of laboratory results depends on pre-analytical variables not detected by conventional quality control. Recommendations are for post-centrifugation coagulation samples to remain capped with cappiercing primary tube analysis. Total laboratory automation integrates analytical platforms with potential incompatibilities necessitating changes including pre-analytical uncapping of samples. |
