Interference of clinical laboratory assays by endogenous and exogenous substances in the blood is well known. To date, there are no clear guidelines on the testing of hemolyzed plasma in clinical laboratories. A conservative approach of alerting the physician with re-sampling is advised. This study focuses on the effect of processed (2006/2007), hemolyzed (in vivo/in vitro) plasma (visual inspection) on genotyping (virco ® TYPE HIV 1) and phenotyping (Antivirogram ®) success at Virco.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
