Routinely collected EDTA-blood kept at 37°C for 10 min before plasma isolation (reheated) showed equivalent results to plasma from blood kept at 37°C from collection through separation.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study showed that different (pre)analytical conditions influence test outcomes in the characterization of CAs. Importantly, CA testing can effectively be performed with reheated blood samples, which will facilitate a more practical workflow for laboratories. International standardization of CA testing for diagnostic use is essential.</p>","PeriodicalId":23631,"journal":{"name":"Vox Sanguinis","volume":"120 9","pages":"944-949"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12422832/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145034290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
