In the journal entitled “The Transition from Gel Separatory Serum Tubes to Lithium Heparin Gel Tubes in the Clinical Laboratory”, how is turnaround time measured in the study, and how did the transition into lithium heparin tubes affect its value, and why?

Marian Nicole Cruz Nogoy

According to Zengi (2023), turnaround time (TAT) is the time interval starting the time from request to report or acceptance of the report. The utilization of lithium heparin tubes leads to a significantly reduced and improved TAT due to the partial reduction of centrifugation time to produce plasma compared to serum samples.
