Frozen.
Heparinized plasma. I.V. fluid. Vitreous fluid. Gray (sodium fluoride/potassium oxalate). Hemolyzed specimens.

Interpretive Data
This test reacts on a nearly equimolar basis with the analogs insulin aspart, insulin glargine, and insulin lispro. Insulin detemir exhibits approximately 50 percent cross-reactivity. Test reactivity with insulin glulisine is negligible (< 3 percent). To convert to pmol/L, multiply by 6.0. The reference interval is based on a 75 g glucose challenge.
