Allow Gold tube to sit for 30 minutes to form clot. Spin for 10 minutes at 1100-1300 g in a swing bucket unit or 15 minutes in a fixed angle to separate cells from serum. Remember to properly label tube with patient name, DOB, test and collect date. Do not collect in orange top tube. Transfer 0.5 mL serum to an ARUP Standard Transport Tube. (Minimum 0.1 mL) . Separate serum from cells ASAP or within 2 hours of collection.
After separation from cells: Ambient: 24 hours; Refrigerated: 1 week; Frozen: 2 months
Ordering Recommendations
Determine presence of antibodies to endogenous or exogenous insulin analogues. Testing not recommended for patients receiving insulin >2 weeks, as insulin antibody formation may occur.
If pursuing antibody testing to determine autoimmune diabetes mellitus (DM), perform at least two antibody tests. In most cases, use glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody in combination with another antibody test.http://ltd.aruplab.com/Tests/Pub/0099228

Interpretive Data
A value greater than 0.4 Kronus Units/mL is considered positive for Insulin Antibody. Kronus units are arbitrary.
Kronus Units = U/mL.
This assay is intended for the semi-quantitative determination of antibodies to endogenous insulin or antibodies to exogenous insulin in human serum. Antibodies to exogenous insulin therapies may be detected using this method. The magnitude of the measured result is not related to disease progression. Results should be interpreted within the context of clinical symptoms
