Effects of Transportation and Delay in Processing on the Stability of Nutritional and Metabolic Biomarkers
Abstract
The effects of transportation and delay in processing of blood samples on the concentration of biomarkers are significant in epidemiological studies for which specimens are collected from participants at locations other than a designated center or laboratory. These sources of variability in measurement were studied by collecting two sets of blood samples from 51 men between 26 and 50 years of age. The first set was sent immediately to the …
