The Effect of In Vitro Hemolysis on Measurement of Cell-Free DNA
25 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hemolysis during blood drawing is a common cause of laboratory artifacts. Although circulating cell-free tumor DNA and fetal DNA are currently measured in routine practice, the effect of in vitro hemolysis on the measurement of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has not been investigated.
