Pre-analytical variation
|
Time-to-spin |
Sample variation based on the time between blood collection and centrifugation to separate blood cells from human serum or EDTA plasma |

Sample variation based on the time between blood collection and freezing human serum or EDTA plasma |
| Freeze-thaw |
Sample variation based on the number of times human serum or EDTA plasma is frozen and thawed |
| Fed-fasted (also relevant to metabolic and energy balance) |
Sample variation based on whether the study participant was fed or fasted prior to EDTA plasma collection. |
