The effect of latency of time, centrifugation conditions, supernate filtration, and addition of protease inhibitors on amniotic fluid interleukin-6 concentrations
2015
Abstract
The main objective of this papers was to evaluate the effect of different handling procedures on immunoassay measurable concentrations of interleukin-6 in amniotic fluid. No significant differences were observed on median and dispersion values of interleukin-6 concentrations between the standard and the test groups.
Therefore, the pre-analytical handling procedures do not seem to interfere on amniotic fluid interleukin-6 concentration.
