Evaluation of a Centrifuge with Rapid Turnaround Time for the Preparation of Plasma Samples for Measurement of Common STAT Markers on the ACS: 180® System |
Reported is the evaluation of a new centrifugation method, Statspin®, that addresses both time and sample Separation integrity. The method can successfully separate the plasma fraction from the cellular material in 2 minutes as compared to 20 minutes for the conventional centrifuge method. The Statspin, combined with the ACS:180 system, can generate test results in less than 30 minutes, exclusive of transport to the laboratory. This study demonstrated that the combined technologies offer timing-saving improvements for clinical laboratories offering STAT immunoassays for cardiac markers, endocrine molecules, and therapeutic drugs. |
