Collect: One 5 mL lt. blue (sodium citrate) for factor VIII, PTT, AND one 5 mL lt. blue (sodium citrate) APC (Min: 5 mL), AND one 5 mL lavender (EDTA) prothrombin nucleotide, AND one 5 mL lavender (EDTA) for homocysteine (fasting sample is preferred for homocysteine).
*ExistCollect> #ExistTransport> Transport: Two 2 mL aliquots platelet-poor plasma (lt. blue, sodium citrate), frozen for factor VIII, PTT, and APC (Min: 1 mL per aliquot) AND one 1 mL plasma (lavender, EDTA), frozen for homocysteine AND one 5 mL whole blood (lavender, EDTA) at 2-8°C for prothrombin nucleotide. (Min: 3 mL) Do not freeze whole blood. *ExistTransport> #ExistPedCollectTransport> Pediatric Collection/Transport: Two 1 mL aliquots platelet-poor plasma (lt. blue, sodium citrate), frozen for factor VIII, PTT, and APC AND 0.4 mL plasma (lavender, EDTA), frozen for homocysteine AND one 1 mL whole blood (lavender, EDTA) at 2-8°C for prothrombin nucleotide.

| Note: | |
| If APC resistance is normal, no further testing will be performed. If APC resistance is abnormally low, then Factor V Leiden by PCR will be added. Additional charges may apply. |
