Comments for Should all Coagulation Specimens be PPP?

Untitled

At Clarian, our centrifuges are calibrated to give us PPP (<5,000) from a single spin. We perform special coag and many times, those tests are added on to a routine sample from our core lab. Therefore, all of the centrifuges used to spin coag result in PPP from a single spin.

We just perform routine coag. We spin with a Statspin using a sigle cycle. Special test are referred out and those usually require frozen plasma. The chemistry lab double spins those render PPP, because they handle all the referred test. If special test are added on, chemistry will spin those too, and freeze. We periodically check the Statspin performance by performing a platelet count on spun plasma samples.
