Blood Sample Stability

Blood sample stability refers to how long a blood sample remains accurate and reliable for testing after it has been collected. Factors like temperature, time, and handling can affect the integrity of components such as enzymes, cells, and chemicals within the sample. Proper storage conditions—such as refrigeration or specific preservation solutions—are essential to prevent degradation or changes that could lead to inaccurate test results. Ensuring blood samples are stable until analysis helps healthcare professionals make correct diagnoses and treatment decisions.
