Dear colleagues, We have been working with our ED dept over the recent years to address high haemolysis rates for their samples . They are currently running at about 10% (using greater than 100mg/dL Haemoglobin). I suspect this is fairly typical but they have asked if other labs have similar data for comparison. Any info greatfully received.
