Dear colleagues,
Just a quick check if labs routinely get CSF samples where an aliquot has
been placed in a preservative (particularly fluoride EDTA / oxalate tube)
before receipt in the lab (or after) and if so what assays you do on the
preserved sample. Any answers appreciated, whether using preservatives or
not.
Thanks in anticipation.
best wishes.
