[Methodological survey of whole blood filtration in the evaluation of erythrocyte deformability. II. Effect of preservation time at various temperatures].
We have demonstrated how conservation time affects whole blood filterability. The filtration index decay appears just after withdrawal and is present, with different characteristics, both at room temperature and at 37 or 4 degrees C. It is absolutely necessary to take measurements immediately after blood withdrawal.
