Clinical Pathology Laboratory - Sample Submission
Samples for Coagulation Tests
 
 
As of September 1, 2001, the Clinical Pathology Lab will no longer be performing coagulation tests; these tests will instead be offered exclusively by the Comparative Coagulation Laboratory in the Diagnostic Lab at Cornell University. The Clinical Patholoigy lab will continue to offer the Schalm's Fibrinogen test.
 
Schalm's fibrinogen

This is performed on EDTA blood only (lavender top tube). Fibrinogen is quite stable, although hemolysis and lipemia will interfere with the test.
