Special Info

Do not collect in a gel separator tube. Tobramycin, Random, is for collections outside of pre or post-dose. Please utilize the time specific assay when applicable (e.g. pre-dose Tobramycin or post-dose Tobramycin). Samples that contain tobramycin in combination with either amikacin or kanamycin cannot be reliably quantitated by this assay.
