For protein it will depend on your method. You have to use an unpreserved
sample with the pyrogallol red method as the fluoride oxalate gives a
negative interference. The benzethonium chloride method is OK with fluoride
oxalate. Not sure about other methods.
Probably OK to use fluoride oxalate preserved CSF for spectrophotometric
scanning but this would need to be checked out in your laboratory.
Kind regards

How do list members feel about using the fluoride oxalate tube for CSF
glucose, protein and xanthachromia?
