Single-analyte tests

  • B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) 140889

    Plasma · Fasting not stated · Turnaround Within 1 day

    Method and collection
    Method
    Immunochemiluminometric assay (ICMA)
    Collection
    Do not collect in glass. Collect in a plastic lavender-top (EDTA) tube. Centrifuge and transfer the plasma into a LabCorp PP transpak frozen purple tube with screw cap (LabCorp N° 49482). Freeze within 24 hours and maintain frozen until tested. To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, please submit separate frozen specimens for each test requested.

Single-analyte tests

  • B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) 37386

    Plasma · Fasting not stated · Turnaround Set up: Mon-Fri; Report available: 5 days

    Method and collection
    Method
    Immunoassay (IA)
    Collection
    Collect specimen in a plastic EDTA (lavender-top) tube. Centrifuge tube and separate plasma into a plastic specimen transport tube within 1 hour. Freeze plasma immediately. Note: BNP is unstable in glass containers. Use of glass tubes and glass transfer pipettes will affect accurate quantitation of BNP.

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
