Blood from some donors are fatty, after centrifugation an upper layer forms which is difficult to remove, in order to get clean plasma for cfDNA analysis.
Any advice? Thanks!
Hi Mariana,
Hope everything is going well.
You could use a organic solvent. Here I attach a publication talking about that.
regards,
Domingo
maybe you could try piercable centrifugation tubes and simply remove your plasma-aliquot with a Syringe from beneath the fat-layer.
Best regards,
Christian
Yes Dr Christian Wechselberger fat will separate by density gradient also
Thanks to all!
