Yes, CBC (Complete Blood Count) specimens should generally be refrigerated if they cannot be processed immediately. However, they should be kept at room temperature if they are to be analyzed within a couple of hours. Proper storage conditions help prevent degradation of the sample and ensure accurate test results. Always refer to specific laboratory guidelines for handling and storage.

Is a CBC a pre-analytical or analytical variable?
A CBC (complete blood count) is considered an analytical variable. The pre-analytical phase involves specimen collection and handling before analysis, while the analytical phase involves the actual testing and analysis of the specimen, which includes processing it to obtain results.
A cbc specimen rejected for testing by the hematology dept the tube was filled completelly and labeled properly what might have been the reason for rejection?
One potential reason for rejection could be that the specimen clotted before analysis. Clotted samples can interfere with accurate testing of the complete blood count (CBC) parameters. Another reason could be hemolysis, which is the breakdown of red blood cells, leading to inaccurate results. It's also possible that there was an issue with transportation or handling of the sample that compromised its integrity.
Do you refrigerate feces?
While you can refrigerate feces to control the bacteria that grows in it, generally, you'd flush it down the toilet or bury it. If you must collect a stool specimen, you should follow the doctor's instructions, and ask them if you don't understand what you must do.
Will warming up a specimen drawn for a cbc cause an abnormal result?
Warming a specimen drawn for cbc to 37 celcius, or body temperature, will not cause an abnormal result. Most CBC analyzers are maintained at this temperature internally so the blood is partially warmed before being analyzed anyways. For some people, the blood MUST be warmed because of proteins (cold agglutinants) that can cause abnormal results if not prewarmed. However, heating the blood over body temperature can damage the cells and lead to abnormal results.
Should a culture and sensitivity of a specimen be keep refrigerated or left out?
A culture and sensitivity specimen should typically be kept at room temperature until it is processed, as refrigeration can inhibit the growth of certain pathogens. However, if there is a delay in processing (generally more than a couple of hours), it may be advisable to refrigerate the specimen to preserve its viability. Always refer to specific guidelines or protocols for the particular type of specimen being collected.
