Effect of delayed blood centrifugation on cytokine quantitation in serum and plasma.
Background: Cytokines are critical biomarkers, but their accurate measurement is susceptible to pre-analytical variables. This study investigated the effect of delayed blood processing on the quantitation of eight cytokines (CCL2, CXCL10, IFN-γ, IL-2Ra, IL-6, IL-7, IL-18, TNFα) in matched serum and plasma from healthy volunteers. Methods: Blood was processed immediately or after 3, 6, 24, and 48 hours, stored at room temperature or 4°C. Cytokines were quantified using a multiplexed Ella assay.
Results: Our data showed only IL-2Ra remained stable across all conditions. The remaining cytokine concentrations were significantly impacted by processing delay and storage temperature, with changes evident as early as 3 hours and more pronounced at 24 and 48 hours (p < 0.05). Storing blood at 4°C generally mitigated changes compared to room temperature, but analyte-specific and matrix-dependent variations persisted.
Conclusion: These findings emphasize delayed processing significantly alters cytokine levels, highlighting the importance of prompt, standardized processing and careful consideration of pre-analytical factors for reliable cytokine quantitation in clinical studies.

期刊介绍:
Reliable data obtained from selective, sensitive and reproducible analysis of xenobiotics and biotics in biological samples is a fundamental and crucial part of every successful drug development program. The same principles can also apply to many other areas of research such as forensic science, toxicology and sports doping testing.
The bioanalytical field incorporates sophisticated techniques linking sample preparation and advanced separations with MS and NMR detection systems, automation and robotics. Standards set by regulatory bodies regarding method development and validation increasingly define the boundaries between speed and quality.
Bioanalysis is a progressive discipline for which the future holds many exciting opportunities to further reduce sample volumes, analysis cost and environmental impact, as well as to improve sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, efficiency, assay throughput, data quality, data handling and processing.
The journal Bioanalysis focuses on the techniques and methods used for the detection or quantitative study of analytes in human or animal biological samples. Bioanalysis encourages the submission of articles describing forward-looking applications, including biosensors, microfluidics, miniaturized analytical devices, and new hyphenated and multi-dimensional techniques.
Bioanalysis delivers essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats. Key advances in the field are reported and analyzed by international experts, providing an authoritative but accessible forum for the modern bioanalyst.
