Hello,
Can anyone help with the following?
1. Our pack insert (Cobas) states that EDTA blood tubes should be full for ammonia analysis. We make no provision for this currently and don't bounce requests if the bottles are under-filled. Any opinion?
2. If samples are separated from the cells and aliquoted into a sealed false bottomed tube for analysis at a later point e.g. if analyser out of action, any idea of stability?
Many thanks for any answers in advance.
Best wishes,
Nicola
