What is the recommended centrifugation method for P100?
• What is the optimal recommended handling and transport condition for P100? For optimal stabilization and minimal preanalytical variability, we recommend that plasma collected into the P100 tube is treated as any protein sample: • If this guideline cannot be met (e.g., aliquoting is not an option at the collection site, or dry ice is not available/too cost-prohibitive, etc.) can we still use P100? Yes, P100 will, overall, provide greater benefit for reducing preanalytical variability. If an alternate handling and transport procedure is used, we highly recommend that, regardless of the change to our recommended procedure, the identical procedures are consistently used at all times, across all collection sites. This will ensure reproducibility and minimize preanalytical variability associated with the use of different protocols. Best Practice – Immediate Centrifugation and Aliquoting For optimal results, centrifuge 2500xg for 15-20 min, within 2-4 hours of collection • After centrifugin
