Heparin-dependent Platelet Antibody (Serotonin Release Assay) 150018
2 analytes · Serum · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 3 - 7 days
Labcorp catalog pageMethod and collection
- Method
- The SRA employs washed donor platelets and detects their activation by measuring the release of endogenous serotonin induced by addition of patient serum. The serotonin levels are measured by a highly sensitive liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectroscopy method. Therapeutic levels of heparin included in the assay mix allow for the formation of PF4/heparin complexes on the donor platelet surface to provide an antigen target for the HIT antibodies. The specificity of the assay is increased by assessing the inhibition of platelet activation by adding heparin in excess, thus proving the heparin dependency of the serotonin release.
- Collection
- Transfer serum to a plastic transport tube. To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, please submit separate frozen specimens for each test requested.

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.
