Pre-Analytical Workstations: A Tool for Reducing Laboratory Errors

open access: yesClinica Chimica Acta, 2009
Pre-Analytical Workstations as a Tool for Reducing Laboratory ErrorsReducing errors and improving quality are an integral part of Laboratory Medicine. Laboratory testing, a highly complex process commonly called the total testing process (TTP), is usually subdivided into three traditional (pre-, intra-, and post-) analytical phases.

How to Meet ISO15189:2012 Pre-Analytical Requirements in Clinical Laboratories? A Consensus Document by the EFLM WG-PRE

open access: yesClinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, 2021
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 15189:2012 standard aims to improve quality in medical laboratories through standardization of all key elements in the total testing process, including the pre-analytical phase.

Pre-Analytical Variables in miRNA Analysis

Clinical Biochemistry, 2013
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that are involved in the regulation of cellular processes and have been shown to be differentially expressed in neoplasia and other disease states. This renders miRNAs promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in tissues and body fluids, especially in blood. However, numerous variables can influence the

Pre‐Analytical Factors and Measurement Uncertainty

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 2005
Pre-analytical factors are an important source of variation or errors in clinical laboratory measurements. Based on the new accreditation standards, medical and laboratory professions now seek to develop tools to deal systematically with these diverse factors. Several obvious pre-analytical uncertainty components were estimated in pragmatic experiments

Management of pre-analytical nonconformities

Annales de biologie clinique, 2010
The main nonconformities enumerated to facilitate consensual codification. In each case, an action is defined: refusal to realize the examination with request of a new sample, request of information or correction, results cancellation, nurse or physician information. A traceability of the curative, corrective and preventive actions is needed.

Pre-Analytical Issues for Testosterone and Estradiol Assays

Steroids, 2008
In order to standardize and harmonize testosterone measurement, it is vital to identify and minimize pre-analytical error as well as standardize them when developing reference intervals. These pre-analytic issues can be separated into technical and biological factors. Technical factors to address are the type of sample (serum vs.

The Pre-analytical Phase in Surgical Pathology

2015
Several sequential passages are involved in the pre-analytical handling of surgical specimens from resection in the surgical theater to paraffin-embedding and storage. Each passage is highly critical and can significantly affect the preservation of morphology, antigens, and nucleic acids.

Pre‐analytical and analytical variability of reticulocyte counts in dogs

Veterinary Record, 2023
ABSTRACT Background Automated fluorescence‐based haematology analysers are now available for reticulocyte enumeration in veterinary medicine, but manual counting is still largely used. This study aimed to evaluate potential sources of analytical and pre‐analytical errors when performing ...

Pre-Analytical Variation of Some Haematological Quantities

Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, 2008
It is customary to assume that pre-analytical variation is negligible if all pre-analytical sources of variation have been standardised. The aim of this study was to quantify the pre-analytical variation of some haematological quantities frequently measured in clinical laboratories.The experimental design considers different sources of pre-analytical ...
