Subject: Analytes stability in post-centrifuged serum in gel tubes
Dear All,
Sorry to bring back this old chestnut, as there used to be a website with this
info: http://www.diagnosticsample.com/samples.php3?lang=en
that is no longer in existence.
I would be grateful for information regarding analytes stability of separated
serum in gel tubes stored in the fridge at 4C for up to 5 days, as we
occaionally get retrospective requests on samples 3 - 5 days old.
Analytes may include: UEs, LFTs, amylase, Uric acid, Calcium, lipids, CK,
Troponin I, CKMB mass, TFTs, FSH, LH, Prolactin, testosterone, oestradiol,
progesterone, BhCG, ferritin, B12, folate, drugs, PSA, CEA, CA125, AFP, vitamin
D.
Many thanks and festive greetings.
Mohammad
