Impact of transportation simulation on metabolite concentrations in serum samples.

Abstract

<p>* Metabolites with coefficient of variance across all plates above 25% in reference samples.</p><p>Metabolites that showed significant changes in serum concentration on cool packs for 3, 6 or 24 h compared to baseline (0 h) (Friedman test, p<0.01) and acceptable delay time for each metabolite during transportation (Wilcoxon signed rank test, p<0.01).</p
