Blood is an ideal source for biomarker discovery. However, little has been done to address
the effects of sampling, handling and storage procedures on serum/plasma proteomes. We …

In this article, we present an overview of the different strategies for sample preparation for
identification by mass spectrometry (MS) of biomarkers from serum and/or plasma. We …
