I'm interested in measuring folate in RBC, and I would like to know which methods (or kits) are most commonly used in hospitals or labs. Does anybody have any recommendations?
Also, is there an spcific protocol for isolating and/or extracting red blood cells from whole blood samples?
Thanks in advance.
