Click A Deep Dive Into Key Hemostasis Testing Variables for an in-depth review of preanalytical hemostasis specimen concerns. The CAP article features Andrew Goodwin MD, professor, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine, and medical director of the thrombosis and hemostasis section, University of Vermont Medical Center; and Dr. Eric Salazar, associate professor, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Texas Health San Antonio; medical director of clinical laboratories, UT Health Multispecialty and Research Hospital; and section chief of the hemostasis and thrombosis laboratory at University Hospital.
Drs. Goodwin and Salazar are members of the CAP Hemostasis and Thrombosis Committee, and their article reviews hemostasis specimen management with updates on transport times, centrifugation, storage requirements, and more. For a further discussion of hemostasis pre-analytical variables, please refer to our educational module, “Hemostasis Quality Control, Part 1,” composed and narrated by Dr. Mayukh Sarkar for the Rutgers University graduate Medical Laboratory Science curriculum. Watch here for a follow-up article describing specimens for platelet testing, scheduled to appear in the August 2025 CAP Today publication.
