Natera Blood Kit

Important Note

  • This is a kit that the patient will present to a draw site.
  • If patient does not have a kit, most sites have extra kits.
  • If the site does not have a kit, call around to different sites to find a site to send the patient.
  • Last resort is to send patient to the hospital OPL prior to 2:30pm and specimen processing can send a kit upstairs.

 

  • There are 3 different kits provided by Natera: Panorama, Horizon or a Combo kit which includes both Horizon and Panorama in a single kit.
  • The Panorama kit requires collection of (2) Streck tubes (these are not spun).
  • If using a butterfly for collection, there MUST be a waste tube used first  (this will ensure full fills on the tubes which must be filled completely.)
  • There is also a optional cheek swab for the father (we usually don't need to collect these)
  • The Horizon Kit also has the 2 Streck tubes. In addition there are 2  large Lavendar tubes.
