HI, I was wondering for how many days a sample of blood or bone marrow with heparin7edat can be preserved before doing a PCR. For ex, can a sample wait from say thursday to monday to be processed?
Dear Maria,
Heparin may inhibit PCR amplification, give a thought to EDTA.
Best,
Mannan
Thanks for the answers!
