SSTs are sometimes called "marble-top tubes", "tiger-tops", or "gold-topped tubes", referring to the stoppers which are either gold, red with a gold ring on top, or marbled red and grey. The stopper of SPS (sodium polyanethol sulfonate) tubes have a paler yellow colour, sometimes causing confusion; these are known as "yellow tops" not "gold". Trademarked versions of the SST include Covidien "Corvac" tubes. The tubes have micronized silica particles which help clot the blood before centrifugation, and a gel at the bottom which separates whole blood cells from serum.[1] Silica nanoparticles induce coagulation through contact activation of coagulation factor XII (Hageman factor).[2] The silica particles are desiccants, which adsorb and hold water vapor.[3] This is used in the tubes so the blood adheres to the surface of the tiny silica particles and begins to clot. After the blood sample is centrifuged, the clear serum should be removed for testing.[4][5] These tubes should be used with care when measuring drug or hormone levels because the drug or hormone may diffuse from the serum into the gel, causing a reduction in measured level. The gel in SST II tubes (which appears slightly less opaque) is supposed[weasel words] to have less effect on drug levels in serum.[citation needed]
ComboCytologicalMaterialfromEndocervixEctocervixVaginalFormix ComboCytologicalMaterialfromEndocervixEctocervixVaginalFormixSlide need reference to thin prep (request new term with parent cytology specimen container (physical object) for liquid-based cytology container --Nancy to look this up and ask the new cytologist at CDC
Pericardium tissue_biopsy this has a different definition than the term above added definition micro domain check to see if it is in the path domain submit as tissue from pericardium, for specimen type comment
- Need more - most of the articles around pus are patient information -so far have not found articles that indicate that you cannot discern pus from necrosis without microscopy

Specimen CMT - review of terms with questions | | Plasma Heparin_gel tube thsi si the container term: 767390000 |Evacuated blood collection tube with heparin lithium and gel separator (physical object)| - is not modeling the substances of the physical object, so we still need to submit for separatror gel (need to get a link to the manufacturer info) - inert acrylic gel; polymer gel = Nancy to email to Riki
Scotchtape prep Scratchwound Serum in silicone coated tube Serum_Clotactivator use the same as the gel for heparin_gel tube need substance for clotactivator, which seems to be silicone particles applies to 2 domains

USCDI v5 comments | Y | United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) Had call with Maria Michaels, Nancy and Manjula - working on better coordination within CDC and with partners - will set up recurring calls well prior to next comment period Nancy talked to leadership and we have experienced scientist available (understands lab workflows and what issues exist with LIS and EHR-s)- may pull her into the Data Standardization Lab subgroup; USCDI is one of the topics; currently working on minimum data set for surveillance Desiree is running this there is also the CSTE work: (https://cste.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/EQdpo_BqId1Ih6EE0C1vKYIB0tkA4elCABwDA8Rn47xluQ?rtime=QO7JLK7F20g ) this might re-org as part of the CDC re-organization - so might be a hiatus until all figured out
