Special caution:
- Centrifuge the citrated tubes for 15 minutes at 2000g at room temperature (18-22°C) in a temperature controlled centrifuge.
- Quickly allow plasma to settle, leaving about 0.5mm of plasma above the cell layer of the white globules and platelets. If several citrate tubes are used, pool plasmas in a single haemolysis tube.
- Centrifuge this tube for 15 minutes at 2000g.
- Obtain aliquots in fractions of 0.5 to 1ml without taking from the bottom of the tube (cell debris).
Send at least 2 aliquots of frozen citrated plasma. If activity is found below 10 %, ADAMTS 13 auto-antibody screening will systematically be performed and billed.
