Specimen Type 
Describes the specimen type validated for testing
Specimen Required Defines the optimal specimen required to perform the test and the preferred volume to complete testing
Draw blood into two 5-mL PPT (pearl top) or EDTA (lavender top) tube. Immediately centrifuge (within 2 hours of collection) at 1000-1200xg at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Do not allow samples to remain in centrifuge after centrifugation. Remove plasma from cells immediately and transfer to a plastic screw-cap tube. Freeze immediately. Send 3 mL plasma in a screw-cap vial frozen.
RECOMMENDED:
1. Patient's most recent viral load
