Abstract
We provide a centralised thrombophilia screening service with sample transfer by courier or first class mail, a practice common to many centres. Sample quality is of prime importance, thus we have assessed the effect of delayed sample handling upon the haemostatic variables within our thrombophilia profile. This comprises screening for familial natural anticoagulant deficiency and APC resistance (1-4), and acquired lupus anticoagulant (5,6). The effect upon hypercoagulable markers were also assessed to facilitate evaluation of these in prospective clinical studies (7).
