How does the stability of routine biochemical analytes in whole blood and plasma from lithium heparin gel tubes change during a 6-hour storage period?

16 April 2024 0 4K Report

The inquiry relates to a study conducted by Alkouri, Rana, et al. in which they investigated the stability of various biochemical analytes in whole blood and plasma samples stored for different durations before and after centrifugation. Twenty-four analytes were measured in plasma samples, showing variations in concentrations over time.
