Abstract
Simulation of non-optimal field processing and shipment to a central laboratory showed high variability in analytes released by platelets. The majority of other analytes produced valid results, but platelet contamination in REGARDS samples makes measurement of platelet proteins unadvisable in these samples. Future analytes considered by REGARDS or similar studies should undergo similar pilot testing.
