Platelet-poor plasma: Centrifuge light blue-top tube for 15 minutes at approximately 1500 g within 60 minutes of collection. Using a plastic pipette, remove plasma, taking care to avoid the WBC/platelet buffy layer and place into a plastic vial.

Storage of whole blood at refrigerated temp prior to processing may lead to cryoprecipitate formation and falsely low Factor VIII and von Willebrand Factor studies.
