This technology has a plethora of applications, such as:
- diagnosing and understanding complex diseases.
- whole-genome sequencing.
- analysis of epigenetic modifications.
- mitochondrial sequencing.
- transcriptome sequencing understanding how altered expression of genetic variants affects an organism.
- Exome sequencing mutations in the exome are thought to contain up to 90% of mutations in the human genome, which leads to disease.
- DNA techniques have been used to identify and isolate genes responsible for certain diseases, and provide the correct copy of the defective gene known as ‘gene therapy’.

Collection Instructions
Mix the sample and centrifuge immediately after collection to separate plasma from cells. Transfer plasma to a plastic specimen transport container and mark the specimen type as plasma on the container. Freeze immediately. Cytokine levels may demonstrate diurnal variation. Recommend cytokine levels be determined at the same time of day for improved longitudinal comparison.

1 mL platelet-free plasma collected in EDTA (lavender-top) tube
Minimum Volume
0.25 mL
Collection Instructions
PSC Collections: Collect in EDTA (lavender-top) tube and immediately centrifuge to prepare platelet-poor plasma. Decant the plasma into another pour-over tube. Centrifuge a second time and pour over plasma. Freeze immediately.
Client Collections: Collect in EDTA (lavender-top) tube. Centrifuge for 15 minutes at 1000 X g within 30 minutes of collection. Centrifuge plasma again at 3000 X g for 10 minutes for complete platelet removal. Freeze Immediately.
For fixed speed centrifuges such as 645e: Collect in EDTA (lavender-top) tube. Centrifuge 3 times for 10 minutes at 1600 X g while decanting the plasma each time before the next spin within 30 minutes of collection. Freeze immediately.
