An Amniotic Fluid Specimen for Bilirubin Analysis Is Received in the Laboratory

An amniotic fluid specimen for bilirubin analysis is received in the laboratory in a clear plastic collection tube.How will this affect the results of the bilirubin analysis?

A) There will be no effect on the bilirubin analysis results,because this specimen is properly collected.
B) Because the tube is not darkened,light will cause the bilirubin to be photo-degraded and the results will be falsely decreased.
C) Because there is no additive in the tube,the amniotic fluid cells will hemolyze,leading to a false increase in bilirubin.
D) Because the tube is made of plastic,the amniotic fluid will clot,and no analysis can be performed on a clotted sample.
