Perhaps
some extrapolation could be made from this paper which looked at stability of
analytes at room temperature up to 56h after collection.
Clin
Chem 2002, vol 48, part 12. p2242–2247.
I have the pdf but I’m mindful of copyright discussions sometime ago on the
mailbase.
Season’s
greetings.

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.
