I bought 2 products from mabtech.The products code naming 3430-1H-20 and 3420-1H-20 respectively.I want to clarify the cytokines in the plasmaAnd I wonder that what anticoagulants are recommended because it does not mentioned in the instruction book.



	If I can not centrifuge blood at once how I should  store the samples.At room temperature or they are recommended to store in refrigerator at 4-8 degree Celsius?



	Thank you.

Hey There,



	For ELISA we do not have specific requirements on the anticoagulant. Use what you have available. Many cytokines will degrade over time if stored long term in 4-8C.  
	 



	So for studies of cytokines in plasma it is best to store them in -80C. 



	 



	best,



	Christian
