The serum should be separated within 1 hour of collection and shipped in a plastic transport vial, either refrigerated or frozen. It’s important to note that delayed separation can result in inaccurately high lysozyme levels due to leukocyte breakdown. A duly filled Test Send Out Consent Form (Form 35) is mandatory for processing.
