**Prior to shipment red top tubes should be spun and have the serum separated. The serum should be stored regrigerated at 2-8°C prior to shipment. Samples are stable for up to 14 days and should be shipped with cold packs for at least second day delivery. Address questions to Len Rea at 501-552-2965 or by e-mail: apa@pathassociates.com.
