Top 10 Tips for Blood Separation in Point-of-Care Tests

A guide to best practices to ensure integrity and enhance testing performance

Effective blood separation is crucial for accurate point-of-care diagnostic testing using whole blood. However, the complexity of blood—comprising red and white blood cells, platelets, and plasma—poses challenges that can interfere with biomarker detection. Best practices in blood separation can help overcome these obstacles, ensuring reliable results.

This article takes a closer look at methods to ensure successful blood separation in point-of-care testing applications. Key strategies include:

Using depth filtration
Optimizing blood flow through membranes
Selecting appropriate filtration materials
Controlling blood volume
Employing a chase buffer
