New Order of Draw!
ATTENTION! The most recent National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) standard H3-A5 lists a new order of draw but qualifies it with the following note: "The order of draw has been revised to reflect the increased use of plastic blood collection tubes. Plastic serum tubes containing a clot activator may cause interference in coagulation testing. Glass non-additive serum tubes may be drawn before the coagulation tube."
The current edition of the NCCLS catalog is available upon request from either NCCLS membership organizations as well as to non-members directly from NCCLS. Contact the NCCLS Executive Offices for more information!
