SST Tube Specimen Validity: How Long is it Good for?

Question
HOW LONG WOULD YOU SAY A SPECIMEN IS GOOD FOR IN A SST TUBE UNSPUN. THANK YOU  

Answer
Hi Billy.  I can't give you an specific answer for this one.  The specific answer depends on which test (s) are ordered by the doctor for that tube of blood.  Generally speaking though, it's best to spin the tube within approximately 2 hours after collection.
