Whole blood EDTA samples should be sent to the lab as soon as possible after specimen collection. Do not refrigerate these samples or do not send them on ice. EDTA samples which have been centrifuged and separated should be sent to the lab frozen. Morning sample is desirable as Renin is affected by diurnal variation.
