Storage and preparation of samples for erythropoietin radioimmunoassay
2008
Summary The evaluation of a radioimmunoassay for erythropoietin developed using recombinant material as immunogen and radiotracer is presented. A series of serum samples prepared and stored under varying conditions showed that immunoreactive erythropoietin levels were stable at room temperature for at least 10 days and at – 20°C for 5 months. The optimum time for separating sera from samples was between 6 and 24 h after venepuncture. Serum EPO values were significantly higher than those measured in heparin or potassium EDTA plasma.
