There isn enough serum plasma to fill all 6 Eppendorf tubes – should I fill less tubes or put a bit in all 6?
A. Please put a bit of serum/plasma into all 6 tubes (minimum 200ul). It should still be OK for analysis even if the tube is not completely full. Data Collection Q. There is no ECG in the casenotes for the time of the patient’s stroke.A. We need evidence from an ECG that the patient did not have an embolic stroke. If there are other ECGs in the casenotes, please send the ECG for the nearest time to the stroke. If there are no ECGs, please send the patient’s discharge summary which should clearly state the result of the ECG taken at the time of stroke.
