Samples simultaneously collected in Becton-Dickinson Vacutainer tubes for measurement of serum and plasma antidepressant concentrations. Serum was drawn into red stopper (without gel separator) speckled separator (with separator), while green (heparinized). Imipramine, desipramine, amitriptyline, nortriptyline concentrations all significantly lower than either or collection tubes. similar.
