Note: If the patient cannot tolerate this volume contact the laboratory at x3-1667 and ask to speak to a Processing or Chemistry supervisor. The volume of blood that can be collected (minimun 1.0 mL) needs to be coordinated with the lab so we can create a speacial perchloric acid tube containing an equal volume of Perchloric acid for use in stabilizing the sample.
