Abstract:
BACKGROUND:There is little information on temperature and period of freezing for generating hemolysate and blood cell lysate. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Primary tubes containing whole blood were frozen at -20°C and -80°C and then serially thawed to assess cell lysis and clinical chemistry tests in centrifuged plasma. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS:Massive amount of blood cells lysis could only be obtained by storing samples 12h at -20°C, or 2h at -80°C.
