The preanalytic phase is an important component of total laboratory quality. A wide range of
variables that affect the result for a patient from whom a specimen of blood or body fluid has …

Blood collection devices interact with blood to alter blood composition, serum, or plasma
fractions and in some cases adversely affect laboratory tests. Vascular access devices may …

Sažetak Introduction: Hemolysis is still the most common reason for rejecting samples, while
reobtaining a new sample is an important problem. The aim of this study was to investigate …

Background: Preanalytical factors are the main source of variation in clinical chemistry
testing and among the major determinants of preanalytical variability, sample hemolysis can …

Electrochemical paper-based analytical devices (ePADs) with integrated plasma isolation
for determination of glucose from whole blood samples have been developed. A dumbbell …

Information on the stability of serum analytes during storage of serum or whole blood
samples is often incomplete and sometimes contradictory. Using a widely available analyser …

The exact origin of reactive species and oxidative damage detected in blood is largely
unknown. Blood interacts with all organs and tissues and, consequently, with many possible …

A rapid plasma extraction technology that collects a 2.5 μL aliquot of plasma within three
minutes from a finger-stick derived drop of blood was evaluated. The utility of the plasma …

Hemolysis represents an important source of error associated with the pre-analytical phase.
Improving the protocols for detection, measurement, management of the parameters affected …

The level of F2-isoprostanes (F2-IsoP) in blood or urine is widely regarded as the reference
marker for the assessment of oxidative stress. As a result, nowadays, F2-IsoP is the most …
