Should I Submit Mouse Serum or Plasma to Rules-Based Medicine for Rodent Multi-Analyte Profiling?
When discussing projects with our customers, they often ask, “Should we collect serum or plasma in our mouse study?” In this case study, we used data generated by our Rodent MAP antigen panel version 1.5 to compare the mean values for each of the 59 analytes measured. These data were generated with 3,502 mouse serum samples and 2,946 mouse plasma samples submitted to RBM for testing (386,880 data points). These data therefore represented many different strains of mice across many different experimental regimens. The purpose was simply to answer the question: “Is my analyte of interest better represented in serum or plasma?” This may serve as a guide for your own experimental design.
