Can you remix centrifuged whole blood specimens?
No, it is not recommended to remix centrifuged whole blood specimens as it can affect the accuracy of test results due to potential cell lysis and mixing of plasma/serum with cellular components. It is best to follow the specific instructions provided for each test to ensure accurate results.
How do you prove there is glucose in a sample?

What is involved in a Blood sugar test?
For a postprandial glucose test, you are required to eat 2 hours before a sample of your blood is taken. The results of your postprandial glucose test should be ready in 1-to-2 hours.
What form of blood collection uses a grey top tube?
Glucose studies use gray top tubes. The additive in grey tubes prevent glycolysis. Lactic acid test also uses a gray top.
What tablet is dropped into a test tube of urine to test glucose?
A glucose tablet is usually dropped into a test tube of urine to test for glucose. The tablet contains a substance that reacts with glucose in the urine, causing a color change that indicates the presence of glucose.
