Introduction: Optimal storage of serum specimens in central laboratories for a long period for
multicenter reference interval studies, or epidemiologic studies remains to be determined …

Background: Storage of serum and other blood products is often necessary in laboratories
because of technical issues or to preserve samples for subsequent research purposes. The …

Objective A common problem in clinical laboratories is maintaining the stability of analytes
during pre‐analytical processes. The aim of this study was to systematically summarize the …

OBJECTIVE: We studied the pre-analytical stability of 81 analytes based on the variables of
delay before processing, storage as whole blood or serum/plasma, the storage temperature …

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 …

Background: Environmental conditions during sample processing, shipping, and storage are
often suboptimal, particularly in less developed countries. We used samples from US …

Background: Liquid biobanking is an important tool for laboratory diagnostics in routine
settings and clinical studies. However, the current knowledge about adequate storage …

Background Blood samples collected in rural and remote areas of Australasia are often
exposed to a range of environmental conditions prior to analysis in a laboratory. The aim of …

Background. Suitable procedures for transport of blood samples from general practitioners
to hospital laboratories are requested. Here we explore routine testing on samples stored …

AIM: With the availability of newer hematology analysers, novel measurement techniques
are being introduced into daily routine. As analyte stability may differ according to the …
