CLSI H21 Abstract

Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute H21—Collection, Transport, and Processing of Blood Specimens for Testing Plasma-Based Coagulation Assays provides procedures for the collection, transport, and processing of blood specimens for plasma-based coagulation testing. Samples referred for coagulation testing are susceptible to preexamination errors, including those resulting from specimen collection and mixing, storage and transportation, various patient factors, and exogenous interferences. Thus, attention to these errors is important. CLSI H21 is primarily for laboratory and/or clinical personnel responsible for performing and interpreting plasma-based coagulation assays.
