Blood: Transport 7 mL whole blood in the original collection tube. (Min: 0.5 mL). Urine for Beta-2-Microglobulin: Transfer 3 mL aliquot from original urine collection to an ARUP Standard Transport Tube. Adjust the pH of this specimen immediately after pouring off collection, so the pH is between 6 and 8. Use 1M HCl or 5 percent NaOH to adjust the urine pH. Label tube as β2 Microglobulin. Freeze within one hour of collection. Urine for Cadmium: Transfer 7 mL aliquot from original urine collection to ARUP Trace Element-Free Transport Tubes (Min: 0.5 mL) Label tube as Cadmium. Urine for Creatinine: Transfer 2 mL aliquot from original urine collection to an ARUP Standard Transport Tube. (Min: 0.5 mL) Label tube as Creatinine.
