title: Quantitation of protein adsorbance to glass and plastics: investigation of a new tube with low adherence.
abstract: Four different tubes were tested for adherence of human albumin, aggregated and non-aggregated human IgG and rabbit IgG: glass, polystyrene and cellulose nitrate tubes, and a new plastic tube, Minisorp. From the viewpoint of low protein adherence, the new tube was superior to the others, in the following test situation: (i) low concentration of proteins; (ii) 0.9% NaCl used as diluent; and (iii) when detergents in the tests are undesirable.
