Reliability of IFCC Method for Lactate Dehydrogenase in Heparin Plasma

Abstract

We became aware of data from another laboratory that used Sarstedt sampling tubes and that showed none of the errors we had reported. From additional experiments (manuscript in preparation), we believe that the previously reported errors might be eliminated by adding a predilution step in the analytical sequence. This predilution step now is included in the IFCC method from Roche.
