Our Story
“Royal Lab” has started since 1998 in the area of clinical and chemical pathology by its first branch in 53 El-Makreezy Street which is considered the main branch of Royal Lab. The lab was focusing on Biology is Dr. Hatem ElSebai’s major specialty. So, the lab had the most recent technology at this time in PCR:
- -Cobas Amplicor(Roche)
- - b - DNA ( Bayer )
In 1999, the first satellite branch was established. It was in Elnozha (20 Magdy street). On the other hand, new technology and new specialists were added to the laboratories in almost all aspects as haematology, biochemistry, endocrinology and immunology.
In 2001 the second satellite branch was established in 19 A Elkhaleefa Elmamoun street, Roxy.
-In the years between 2001 and 2004, internal development of the lab was our main concern through developing technology as well as man power in order to be ready for the (spurt) that happened in 2005.
In 2005 the lab has added Nasr City branch as well as adding 2 new technologies in molecular pathology which are Real Time PCR and TMA. Establishment of a big network in the area of Lab to Lab business can be considered our best achievements during this year.
In 2006-2007 the lab to lab network was developed to serve more than 1300 laboratories all over Egypt from Behaira to Aswan.
In 2008, 3 more satellites were added to satisfy more customers. These branches were in Shobra Elkhaima, ShobraMasr and Downtownin Shereif Street.

Specimen Collection
Specimen collection shall be performed only after verification of the patient identity – requested tests – preparation for the tests if there is any.
Patient Preparation & factors interfering with the test results
Some tests require patient preparation in some Specific way to ensure accurate results.
- Fasting: Verification of fasting before sampling is mandatory for:
- Fasting glucose: 8 h
- Triglycerides: 12-16 h
- Nutritional status:
- Ingestion of protein rich meal increases the level of serum urea, phosphate and uric acid.
- Oral glucose tolerance test should be done after 3 days of unrestricted diet containing 150 gm carbohydrates at least daily
- Diet containing horseradish peroxidase gives false positive occult blood in stool
- Dietary instructions:
- VMA (Vanillylmandelic Acid), (24-hour urine collection): to preclude false elevations of VMA, avoid intake of salicylates (aspirin), caffeine, phenothiazine, antihypertension agents, coffee, tea, chocolate, fruits such as bananas, citrus, and substances containing vanilla for three days prior to and during the collection.
- Metanephrines (24-hour urine collection): to prevent false elevations of metanephrines, avoid the intake of caffeine. The following drugs interfere with this test: monamineoxidase inhibitors, Propranolol HCl (Inderal), and the diuretic trimterene (Dyazide and Dyrenium).
- 5-HIA (24-hour urine collection): to prevent false elevations of urinary 5-HIAA (also known as serotonin) avoid intake of bananas, avocados, plums, eggplant, pineapples, walnuts, alcohol, frozen desserts, meat and poultry skin, and gelatins for three days prior to and during collection. The following medications will also interfere: cough syrup containing guafinesin, Tylenol (acetaminophen), Emperin (phenacetin), Acetanilid, glycerylguaiacolatemephensin, methocarbamol, reserpine, chlorpromazine, promazine, imipramine, isoniazid, MAO inhibitors, methenamine, methyldopa, phenothiazines promethazine, or any compound containing these drugs.
- Catecholamines (24-hour urine collection): to prevent false elevations of catecholamines, avoid intake of all medications including vitamins for three days prior to and during collection. This includes all epinephrine or norepinephrine-like medication, aspirin, vitamin B compounds, alpha-methyl dopa, and “mycin” antibiotics. Omit substances containing caffeine, bananas, chocolate, and vanilla.
- Exercise:
- Increases blood glucose, plasma pyruvate and lactate.
- Increases cellular permeability which lead to slight increase in serum activities of enzymes originating from skeletal muscles as AST, CK, LDH, and Aldolase.
- Intra-muscular injection or muscle trauma: Increases CK but troponin is normal
- Effect of smoking
- Increase of Triglyceride
- Plasma glucose is higher & glucose tolerance is slightly lower in smokers.
- Chronic increase of RBCs
- Acute increase of cortisol
- Alcohol:
- Alcohol ingestion cause marked hypertriglyceridemia.
- Considerable influence on HDL cholesterol and total cholesterol concentration
- Chronic alcohol ingestion affect the activity of many enzymes including GGT and isocitrate dehydrogenase
- Stress:
- Stress associated with blood collection may increases cortisol , catecholamine and GH
- Struggling in young children may lead to adrenal stimulationand increase in glucose & may increases skeletal muscle enzymes e.g. CK
- Change in posture:
Change from supine to standing position
- decrease in Blood volume about 10%
- decrease Plasma volume of the blood
- increase Plasma protein concentration by about 8-10% including:
- enzymes,
- protein hormones and
- Protein bound substances as Ca, drugs and bilirubin.
- Prolonged tourniquet
- increase proteins and protein bound substances as: calcium
- Drugs:
Drug interference can be grouped into two general categories:
- In vivo effects of the drug or its metabolites on the analyte to be measured.GGT is commonly increased after drug intake. To a lesser extent ALT and AST also affected by some drugs
- In vitro effects due to some physical or chemical property of the drug or its metabolites, which interfere with the actual assay procedure.
e.g: cephalosporins:give false increase of creatinine
- Menstrual cycle:
- The plasma concentration of many female sex hormones changes FSH and LH and progesterone level with the cycle phases.
- FSH and LH: are collected at 2nd day of cycle
- Progesterone collected at 21 days of cycle
- Timing of sampling:
Timing is important for some analytes that undergo marked diurnal variation & affected with medication intake;
- e.g. corticosteroids & for those used to monitor drug therapy
- Also in oral glucose tolerance test: is done in the morning after 8-14 h fasting
- The patient must not be treated with antibiotics or antiseptic mouth-washes (gargles), for 8 hours, before swabbing mouth, throat, skin….
- The patient must not be treated with antibiotics, for 48 hours, before collecting specimens for C&S testing
- Allow 2–4 hours after urination before collecting a uro—genital specimen.
- Precautions for PCR samples, e.g. HCV RNA RT-PCR & the HBV DNA RT-PCR:
- Sample Collection & transportation:
- Using acceptable venipuncture technique, collect 5 to 7 ml whole blood in red top or serum separator (SST) blood collection vacutainer tubes.
- Allow a minimum of 15 minutes to allow clot to form.
- Centrifuge sample to separate serum from clot.
- Transfer 1.0 – 2.0 ml of serum to the storage tube.
- Serum samples can be transported in (2 – 8.0° C)
- Serum samples can be stored in the refrigerator (2 – 8.0° C) for up to one week, or can be stored frozen (≤ -20.0 ° C) indefinitely.
- Instructions for stool collection:
- Female patients should urinate prior to stool collection due to harmful effects of urine on protozoa if collected in the same container.
- Collect stool prior to radiologic studies involving barium sulfate, or one week or longer after use of barium.
- Avoid mineral oil, nonabsorbable antidiarrheal preparations, anti-malarials, and some antibiotics (tetracyclines). Organisms may be difficult to detect for several weeks after medication is discontinued.
- Others:
- Acid phosphatase: is affected by prostatic massage, urinary retention, and catheterization
- Culture and sensitivity: needs no antibiotic therapy for 48 h
Collection of blood samples
Equipment:
- Needle gauge selection is based upon the patient’s physical characteristics.
- The larger bore size causes blood to flow quickly while the smaller bore size causes blood to flow slower.
C. Evacuated Collection Tubes or Syringes
- Choose the tube or syringe size according to the quantity required for the test(s) requested, and by the size and condition of the patient’s vein.
- The most common correlation between vacutainer stopper color &additives is as follows:
STOPPER |
ADDITIVE |
Plain Red |
None |
Light Blue |
Citrate |
Green |
Li Heparin/Na Heparin |
Lavender |
Potassium EDTA |
Gray |
Floride |
D. Disinfecting Agents: Non-Woven swab alcohol Pads with 70% isopropyl alcohol
E. Drying Agents: Cotton balls
G. Tourniquets
- All equipment & supplies are routinely checked for compliance & expiration dates.
- Equipment & supplies are checked (at the beginning of every day), for availability, using sampling room checklist F06P01.19.T
- Patient verification:
- The phlebotomist verifies patient identity and the requested tests (with their preparation if any), as compared with the data in the job order. If there are any discrepancies, sample collection does not start, until the problem is satisfactorily resolved
- Chat with the patient to gain their trust, so that the process will be easier & quicker
- Position the Patient Properly:
- Extend the arm such that a straight line is formed from shoulder to wrist (This position ensures access to the antecubital fossa easily and comfortably - median cubital, cephalic or basilic veins are preferred.
- Apply the Tourniquet 3-4 inches above the venipuncture site (not more than 1-2 minutes)
- Check the antecubital fossa of both arms before selecting the site by palpating, using your index finger for vein direction, depth and size.
- Do not draw from:
- An arm that is receiving intravenous therapy.
- An arm on the side of mastectomy, use the opposite arm to avoid lymphostatic interferences with the blood specimen.
- An arm with hematoma. If other sites are not available, apply tourniquet below the hematoma. In instances when a tourniquet is applied for site selection, release before cleansing.
- Release the torniquet
- Put on well fitting, non-sterile gloves
- Cleanse and Dry the Venipuncture Site:
- Using Non-Woven swab alcohol Pads with 70% isopropyl alcohol
- Cleanse in circular motion beginning at the center moving outward for about an inch
- Allow the alcohol to air dry before you insert the needle.
- Re-apply the tourniquet & do not attempt to touch the area you sterilized before
- Perform the Venipuncture:
- Anchor the skin below the area you sterilized before, with the thumb, then enter the vein with the needle bevel upward at a 15-degree angle. Follow the vein geography to secure the needle.
- Vacutainer (evacuated) system:
- Use one hand to hold the tube holder while using the other hand to gently insert the first tube all the way into the needle, and allow the vacuum to fill the tube.
- After the flow of blood into the tube has ceased, gently remove the tube and insert another tube as needed. Continue the process until all tubes are filled.
- Butterfly system:
- Gently and quickly enter the vein. Hold the “butterfly” tabs to secure the needle in the vein while drawing blood.
- If necessary, have an assistant gently push the vacutainer tube all the way into the holder, and allow the vacuum to fill the tube.
- After the flow has ceased, gently remove the tube and insert another as needed. Continue until all tubes are filled.
- Syringe system: Transfer blood to appropriate labeled tubes, taking caution not to hemolyze the specimen(s) and observing needle safety.
- Tube collection sequence: To prevent contamination of specimens, fill at 1st, blood culture bottles, then non-additive tubes, followed by barrier gel tubes, then citrate, followed by Heparin, EDTA-K3, and fluoride-oxalate tubes.
- Release the Tourniquet, as soon as the needle enters the vein
- If the Sample cannot be obtained:
- Change the position of the needle.
- Try another tube.
- Loosen the tourniquet.
- Repeat one more time, or have another phlebotomist try.
N.B: Never attempt to draw a sample more than twice on the same patient without explicit permission from the patient
9. Remove the needle gently but quickly.
10. Apply pressure to the venipuncture site for 3-5 minutes, keep arm straight; don’t fold.
11. Mix or Fill and Mix Tube(s), by gentle inversion 5-8 times.
12. Engage needle safety device and place entire system into a hazardous safety box.
SAFETY NOTE: Never attempt to recap or cut a needle.
- Label the specimen
Notes:
- The phlebotomist signs their name and time of sample collection on the job order
- Patient subjected to invasive procedure (bone marrow aspiration, biopsy, ……) should sign a written consent form F07P01.19.T
- When collecting drug levels, record the quantity of each dose, time of ingestion and the time of collection on the job order.
- Serum for cold agglutinins must be maintained at room temperature or 370C to avoid false negative values.
- Volume of specimens requested should be strictly adhered to. DO NOT COMPROMISE the requested volume, or the test will not be done.
- When serum or plasma is to be submitted for analysis, it is generally a good practice to collect a volume of blood that is 2.5-3 times the volume of serum or plasma needed for the test.
- Heparin tubes are acceptable when half to completely full.
- EDTA, Citrate, and fluoride-oxalate tubes are acceptable only when filled to the appropriate capacity.
- Prevention of Hematoma
- Fully puncture only uppermost wall of vein.
- Remove tourniquet before needle.
- Use the major veins.
- Apply pressure to puncture site and do not bandage until any bleeding has stopped.
- When no site can be found except the area of IV administration:
- Turn off IV for 2 minutes.
- Apply tourniquet below IV site.
- Draw 5ml blood and discard.
- Collect test sample.
- Withdraw needle and apply firm but not tight bandage.
- Restart IV.
- Prevention of Hemolysis: avoid
- Using needle(s) with too small bore
- Shaking the blood too vigorously.
- Centrifuging blood before clotting.
- Collecting before alcohol dry.
- Withdrawing the blood too rapidly
- Storing whole blood samples in, or next to, the freezing compartment of a refrigerator.
- Oral glucose tolerance test OGTT:
- The patient should stick to high carbohydrate diet (150 g glucose/ day), for 3 days before the test & avoid; smoking – alcohol ingestion & any medications that would affect the test results
- On the day of the test, at 7- 8 am, patient should come to the lab, fasting for 8 hours.
- After collection of the blood & urine samples for Fasting glucose level, the patient administrs 75g - 100g dose of Glucose dissolved in 400 ml water in about 20 minutes.
- 3 types of OGTT
- One Hour Post Glucose 100 g dose (screening for gestational DM):
Only one blood sample is collected, together with a urine sample, after 1 hour of glucose ingestion
- Two Hour Glucose Tolerance Test 75 g dose:
Two blood & two urine samples are collected, after 1 & 2 hours of glucose ingestion
- Three Hour Glucose Tolerance Test 75 g dose:
Three blood & three urine samples are collected, after 1 – 2 & 3 hours of glucose ingestion
- Patient care during special situations:
1. Fainting/light-headedness during/after phlebotomy:
- Immediately remove the tourniquet and the needle from the patient’s arm.
- Lower head and arms and elevate legs.
- Loosen tight clothing
- Apply cold compresses to the forehead and back of the neck if necessary.
- If the patient has fainted, call their name while patting their hand or face.
2. Nausea/vomiting:
- Hold waste container or emesis basin for patient.
- Make the patient as comfortable as possible. Allow patient to rinse their mouth with cold water.
- Instruct the patient to breath deeply and slowly.
- Apply cold compresses to the forehead and back of the neck if necessary
- Consent form
Adequate information is provided to the patient or legal representative in order for the patient or legal representative to make a rational, informed decision to permit invasive procedure. The patient is free to reject recommended invasive procedure.
- A valid written consent must contain the following elements:
- The exact name of the procedure under consent;
- The consenter's understanding of:
- The nature of the procedure
- Alternatives
- Risks and benefits involved
- Probable consequences of non-submitting the procedure
- Date of consent;
- Anticoagulants
- EDTA (ethylenediamine tetra-aceticacid), and tri-sodium citrate, prevent blood from clotting by removing calcium.
- EDTA anti coagulated blood can be used for most tests, e.g. hemoglobin, PCV, WBC count, platelet count, reticulocyte count, and reporting blood cell morphology. It is not suitable for coagulation tests
- The correct amount of blood must be added to EDTA to prevent blood cell changes. Excess EDTA causes shrinkage and degenerative changes, e.g. the disintegration of platelets, decrease in centrifuged PCV, and increase in MCHC. The blood must be well mixed with the EDTA.
- Tri-sodium citrate, is used to anticoagulant blood for: ESR & coagulation tests
- Mix the sample gently by inverting the tube several times immediately after filling.
- Process the sample ASAP, Spin down the specimen at for 10 min, then transfer plasma into a plastic tube using a plastic Pasteur pipette staying away from the buffy coat layer. Do not use glass tubes or glass Pasteur pipettes as glass can activate the clotting cascade.
- Quickly freeze the sample to keep coagulation factors intact. Ship frozen in dry ice. Ensure that sample remains frozen in transit.
- Test Priorities:
- Routine: Routine tests performed have a maximum allowable turnaround of one workday (24 hours). Some specialized testing may take longer. Refer to TEST Menu Table for further details.
Note: All tests presented to the Laboratory without a priority assigned will be treated as a routine test.
- Urgent: Tests that are needed to make a decision or take rapid action to prevent clinical deterioration of a patient should be requested as urgent.
Collection of urine Samples
- Collection container
- Disposable plastic containers are available in many sizes (sterile and non-sterile) and are provided with lids for covering the specimen to reduce bacterial and other types of contamination. Large, wide-mouthed plastic or glass containers with screw-cap tops are used for cumulative collection of urine over a long period of time. These bottles should be kept refrigerated or should contain an appropriate chemical preservative.
- All containers and preservatives for the collection of 24-hour urine will be dispensed by the Laboratory (most common tests in the urine do not require preservatives).
- Storage of urine, if not examined within one hour
- Bacterial multiplication regularly occurs in urine specimens that remain at room temperature for over one hour. Bacteria may utilize glucose in the urine, and convert urea to ammonia, producing alkaline urine. In addition, casts will decompose in urine after several hours, and red blood cells are lysed by hypotonic urine. Marked changes in pH will affect the cellular components.
- Refrigeration at 2 - 8°C is needed to preserve the urine for routine analysis. Chemical preservatives may be used when specimens cannot be refrigerated or for certain special collections.
- Types of urine samples
- Random sample: is collected at any time of the day, into a clean, dry container
- 1st morning sample: is collected immediately upon rising from a night’s sleep “the most concentrated specimen”
- Clean Catch/Midstream sample (for bacteriologic examination): Hands & external genetalia, are washed with water & soap & dried properly, then the initial stream of voided urine, which clears these organisms from the urethra, is discarded and the subsequent midstream urine is collected directly into a sterile container, third 1/3 is also discarded.
- 24-Hour Urine Collection: On the selected morning, empty your bladder and discard this specimen. For the next 24-hours, save all urine voided in a clean container and transfer it to the collection container provided. Try to pass the last sample to be collected at the same hour the collection began. Store the specimen in a cool place, preferably refrigerated, between voids. Return the specimen to the Laboratory as soon as possible after completing the collection.
- Bladder catheterization and percutaneous suprapubic aspiration: may be used, but only in very rare and unusual circumstances
Collection of fecal samples (stool)
Collection container is obtained from the Laboratory. Sample is collected as follows:
- Place something in the toilet to catch the stool, such as a potty, an empty plastic food container, spread clean newspaper or a plastic wrap over the rim of the toilet make sure the sample doesn’t touch the inside of the toilet
- Use a spoon or a spatula to place the sample in the clean screw-top container and screw the lid shut
- A minimum of three fecal specimens on alternate days are recommended to ensure recovery of intestinal parasites and pathogenic bacteria (recommended by the physician).
- For the best possible recovery of enteric parasites and pathogenic bacteria, instruct the patient not to refrigerate the specimen(s) unless it is not possible to deliver the specimen(s) within four (4) hours.
Occult Blood, Stool
- Collect 3 different samples from bowel movements on three different days.
- Specimens collected 3 days prior to, or during a menstrual period, bleeding hemorrhoids or hematuria are unacceptable specimens.
- Transport occult blood stool samples at room temperature.
Collection of Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
- Great care must be taken when handling C.S.F. because the specimen is obtained by lumbar puncture. Only limited amount of fluid can be withdrawn from a patient at any one time.
- 3 tubes, each contains 1 ml fluid are collected for full CSF examination; chemical, cellular count & type & microbiological exam.
Collection of sputum
Collection container is obtained from the Laboratory. Sample is collected as follows:
- Rinse your mouth with water to reduce specimen contamination by bacteria or food particles. (a void mouthwash or toothpaste - For a patient with dentures, remove the dentures first).
- Take a deep breath & hold it for a few seconds - then cough vigorously into the specimen container.
- Sputum is best collected in the morning soon after the patient wakes
- When pulmonary tuberculosis is suspected, up to three specimens may need to be examined to detect AFB.
- When it is not possible to obtain sputum from children with suspected pneumonia or bronchopneumonia, pathogens can often be isolated from mucopus aspirated from the nasopharynx.
Collection of throat and mouth speceimens
- In a good light and using the handle of a spoon to depress the tongue, swab the affected area using a sterile cottonwool swab. Taking care not to contaminate the swab with saliva, return it to its sterile container.
- Caution: It can be dangerous to swab the throat of a child with acute haemophilus epiglottitis because this may cause a spasm that can obstruct the child’s airway. Blood for culture should be collected instead.
- Within two hours of collection, deliver the swab to the laboratory
Collection of Pus, ulcer material and skin speciemen
- Using a sterile technique, aspirate or collect from a drainage tube up to 5 ml of pus. Transfer to a leak-proof sterile container.
- When pus is not being discharged, use a sterile cotton-wool swab to collect a sample from the infected site.
- When the tissue is deeply ulcerated and necrotic (full of dead cells): Aspirate a sample of infected material from the side wall of the ulcer using a sterile needle and syringe. Transfer to a sterile container.
- Fluid from pustules, buboes, and blisters: Aspirate a specimen using a sterile needle and syringe. Transfer to a sterile container.
- When collecting pus from abscesses, wounds, or other sites, special care should be taken to avoid contaminating the specimen with commensal organisms from the skin.
Collection of Effusions
- Effusions sent to the laboratory for investigation include:
Fluid |
|
Synovial |
From a joint |
Pleural |
From the pleural cavity (Space between the lungs and the inner chest wall) |
Pericardial |
From the pericardial sac (Membranous sac surrounding the heart) |
Ascitic (peritoneal) |
From the peritoneal (abdominal) cavity |
Hydrocele |
Usually from the sac surrounding the testes |
- Withdrawal of these fluids by thoracocentesis (pleural), pericardiocentesis (pericardial) or paracentesis (peritonal), is done aseptically, by a phycisian
- 3 tubes, each contains 1 ml fluid are collected for full examination; chemical, cellular count & type & microbiological exam.
Collection of urogenital speceimen
- Collection of urethral discharge from male patients
- Cleanse around the urethral opening using a swab moistened with sterile physiological saline.
- Gently massage the urethra from above downwards.
- Using a swab, collect a sample of discharge. Make a smear of the discharge on a microscope slide by gently rolling the swab on the slide. This will avoid damaging pus cells which contain the bacteria.
- Collection of cervical specimens from female patients
- Use a sterile vaginal speculum to examine the cervix and collect the specimen.
- Cleanse the cervix using a swab moistened with sterile physiological saline.
- Pass a sterile cotton-wool swab 20–30 mm into the endocervical canal and gently rotate the swab against the endocervical wall to obtain a specimen.
- Collection of vaginal discharge to detect T. vaginalis, C. albicans and G. vaginalis
- Wet preparation to detect motile T. vaginalis:
Use a sterile swab to collect a specimen from the vagina. Transfer the sample to a microscope slide. Add a drop of physiological saline and mix. Cover with a cover glass. Label and deliver to the laboratory for immediate examination.
N.B: Use only a sterile saline solution or one that is checked daily by the laboratory to exclude contaminating motile organisms which can be mistaken for T. vaginalis. In tropical climates it is easy for saline solutions to become contaminated.
- Dry smear for Gram staining to detect Candida and examine for clue cells
Use a sterile swab to collect a specimen from the vagina. Transfer the sample to a microscope slide and spread it to make a thin smear. Allow the smear to air-dry, protected from insects and dust. Label and deliver to the laboratory with the wet preparation.
Collection of semen
- Give the person a clean, dry, leak-proof container, and request him to collect a specimen of semen at home following 3–7 days of sexual abstinence.
Note: When a condom is used to collect the fluid, this must be well-washed to remove the powder which coats the rubber. It must be dried completely before being used.
Coitus interruptus: This method of collection should not be used because the first portion of the ejaculate (often containing the highest concentration of spermatozoa) may be lost. Also, the acid pH of vaginal fluid can affect sperm motility and the semen may become contaminated with cells and bacteria.
Sample centrifugation
Definitions:
- Plasma – the liquid portion of the blood after centrifugation of a specimen in which an anticoagulant has prevented a clot formation.
- Serum – the liquid portion of the blood after centrifugation of a specimen that has been allowed to clot
Procedure:
- Wait 20 - 30 minutes after drawing the blood in a tube that does not contain an anti-coagulant.
- Balance each tube to be spun with the same sized tube that contains an equal volume of fluid. The balance tube may contain water.
- The same sized tubes are placed exactly opposite (diagonally) to each other in the centrifuge.
- Close centrifuge lid and ensure that it is locked.
- Set timer and speed, (for serum, 10 -12 min at 3000-4000 RPM) & (for plasma, 15-18 min at1500- 2000 RPM) & (urine or any other fluids, 5-8 min at 1500 - 2000 RPM) & press start
- Do not centrifuge at a higher speed or for a longer period than is necessary. This could cause hemolysis of the sample
- Never open the centrifuge until the motor has stopped and the rotor has stopped spinning, otherwise infectious aerosols may be sprayed into the laboratory.
Rejection Criteria for Unacceptable Specimens
- Samples are rejected, by the branch chemist, sorting staff or unit chemist electronically (on LDM system), through the monitor (reject sample)
- Branch chemist (for branches' samples) & LTL call center supervisor (for labs' samples) are responsible for notifying the customer with the cause of rejection & ask for collection of another sample, with the aid of (rejected samples report on the LDM) & document the notification through the comment section of the sample result page
Rejection criteria:
- Unlabeled/mislabeled
- Inaccurate/conflicting label information (as compared to the laboratory requisition accompanying the specimen)
- Clotted anticoagulant-collected specimens (lavender, light blue, green top tubes)
- Fecal-contaminated urine
- Delay in delivery
- Any contaminated specimen
- Quantity not sufficient (QNS)
- Wrong tube type
- Specimen improperly fixed
- Haemolysed samples
- Grossly lipaemic or icteric samples
- Broken container
- Delay in receipt of unrefrigerated specimen
Sample transportation
- Samples are collected in a container that is rigid and capable of maintaining the integrity of the sample.
- Tubes of blood are kept in a vertical position in a specimen rack. This position promotes complete clot formation and reduces agitation of the tube contents, which in turn reduces the potential for hemolysis. A closed specimen tube is also less likely to spill and become a safety hazard.
- Examination requests are kept separated from the tubes, to avoid their contamination
- Samples are transported within a time - frame appropriate to the nature of the requested examinations and the laboratory discipline concerned
- Samples are transported within a temperature interval specified in the Samples stability table and with the designated preservatives to ensure the integrity of samples
- Samples are transported, from branches, other labs or units, in a manner that ensures safety for the involved staff &the general public & in compliance with national, regional or local regulatory requirements.
- Branch chemist prints a worklist for all samples, which are transported to the main branch, from the LDM and review it before delivering samples to the transporter
- Samples collected from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, are delivered to main branch, in the period from 3:00 -5:00 pm
- Samples collected from 2:00 pm to 11:00 pm, are stored in the branch, over night to be delivered to main branch at 9:00 -11:00 am next day, except samples which must be run within shorter period of time, (they are sent with a branch representative to the main branch, immediately)
- Samples collected from 2:00 pm to 11:00 pm, on thrusdays, are stored in the branch, to be delivered to main branch at 9:00 am -11:00 pm next saturday, except samples which must be run within shorter period of time, (they are sent with a branch representative to the main branch, immediately)
- Urgent samples which are registered on LDM, as urgent, are marked with a colored marker & delivered to the main branch either, with the transporter (if he is already there at that time), or with a representative from the branch
- Branch chemist checks the temperature of the sample transporter bag through the bag thermometer and records it in the F09P01.19.T_/ سركى فروع القاهرة F10P01.19.T_سركى / فروع خارج القاهرة F11P01.19.T_سركى الصعيد المجمع F12P01.19.T_ سيركي الباثولوجي (من الفروع) , if the temperature is not controlled (2 - 8°C), the branch chemist puts extra ice packs in the bag, frozen samples are transported in a cup of ice
- When samples reach the main lab, the sorting & pathology unit staff member again checks the temperature of the bag & records in F09P01.19.T_/ سركى فروع القاهرة F11P01.19.T_سركى الصعيد المجمع/ F12P01.19.T_ سيركي الباثولوجي (من الفروع)
- LTL transporter, is responsible for transportation of labs' samples, according to the mentioned criteria above
Transportation temperature
- Frozen: -10° C or colder:
Prepare a separate aliquot for each test that is needed to be frozen. Use plastic tube, not glass tubes. Do not pack frozen specimens with non-frozen ones. Insulate the specimen to ensure that it does not come in direct contact with the ice.
- Refrigerated 2-8° C:
Use a frozen coolant pack. Insulate the specimen to ensure that it does not come in direct contact with the coolant pack.
- Room Temperature (Ambient) 15-25° C:
Room temperature specimens do not need to be packaged with coolant; however, extreme weather conditions could affect specimen quality. Take weather conditions into consideration.

Critical value reporting
A Critical Value: is defined as a value that represents a Pathophysiological state which is life threatening and requires immediate appropriate intervention, unlike an abnormal test result which does not require immediate appropriate intervention
Responsibility
Branch chemist (for branches' results) & LTL call center supervisor (for labs' results), are responsible for reporting critical results to authorized personnel (physician - patient or patient's relative for the former & lab director, for the later) & electronically document it
Procedure
- The specimen is examined, for sample integrity and rerun one more time, then verified for release
- Branch chemist (for branches' results) & LTL call center supervisor (for labs' results), check the LDM system (panic cases report monitor) periodically (every 1 hour), for critical results & use the monitor (receive results), to record & document the reporting, after they call the authorized personnel to inform them with the name of the test & its critical result & make them read back what they heard
- All critical results are reported within maximum one shift (6 hours), from verification for release
Critical results for different tests
