In order to obtain accurate and meaningful data, it is essential that the analyte of interest be sufficiently stabile in the sample matrix. The stability should be proven covering the entire sample lifecycle: beginning from the time of collection until the last reported analytical result. There are many biological fluids that laboratories analyze, including plasma, serum, whole blood, urine, cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), as well as tissues such as skin, lung and brain. Each of these matrices can present stability challenges due to their varied endogenous components that can either help maintain analyte stability or be the culprit for instability. This presentation will cover some of the factors that contribute to analyte instability as well as strategies that can be used during sample collection and handling to achieve stability prior to analysis.
Speaker
Corey Ohnmacht, Ph.D, Director of Science for Bioanalytical and Quality Control Laboratories, PRA Health Sciences
Corey Ohnmacht is the Director of Science for Bioanalytical and Quality Control Laboratories at PRA Health Sciences in Lenexa, Kansas (USA). Ohnmacht received his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He has a combined 15 years of experience at CROs with 10 years at PRA. His experience includes hands-on and oversight development of 100’s of methods with challenging analytes including proteins, peptides, nucleotides, natural products and highly unstable compounds. Ohnmacht also holds multiple publications in high-impact factor journals, co-authored a handbook on affinity chromatography as well as one for bioanalysis.
