Hemolysis is the #1 source of preanalytical error and can impact potassium results—potentially leading to inappropriate or delayed patient treatment, unnecessary ...

Physical/chemical causes. These causes of hemolysis are most often secondary to improper handling of blood products. Reasons include inadvertent heating or freezing with subsequent thawing of the red ...

Proteomic research drives breakthroughs in biomarker discovery, disease diagnostics and precision medicine. Yet, preanalytical challenges such as hemolysis, platelet activation and protein degradation ...

A Nashville professor helped develop new technology to improve the accuracy of blood tests. The breakthrough detects hemolysis, or the breakdown of red blood cells, which can cause false potassium ...
