Features

• A specially developed stabilizer keeps the homocysteine concentration virtually constant for up to eight hours after blood collection at room temperature. Centrifugation of the sample within this 8-hour period results in an inert gel barrier that safely separates the serum from the blood clot, ensuring further stability of the homocysteine values for a total of 96 hours
•  Is an important, independent risk factor for arteriosclerotic and neurodegenerative diseases1-4.
• For diagnostic purposes, the total homocysteine concentration (tHCY) in the blood plasma is determined. During this procedure, compliance with preanalytical requirements is compulsory because, even after blood collection, erythrocytes in the sample continue to produce homocysteine that diffuses into the plasma.
