(2021). Influence of Haemolysis on the Mineral Profile of Cattle Serum. Animals 2021, 11, 3336http://hdl.handle.net/10347/32754The results of blood tests routinely used in clinical chemistry can be altered by haemolysis, the disruption of red blood cells. Haemolysis of serum samples is recognized to be the leading cause of preanalytical errors in clinical laboratories. The influence of haemolysis must be specifically studied for each analyte and species of clinical interest, as it is often not known how serum samples are affected. Little is known about the potential alterations in the concentrations of mineral elements in haemolyzed serum in general and the phenomenon has not been specifically studied in bovine serum samples. We investigate how haemolysis affects the mineral content of bovine samples.engCopyright: © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.
