Biologic banking in cohort studies, with special reference to blood

N L Petrakis. Natl Cancer Inst Monogr. 1985 May.

Abstract

Those who conduct cohort studies in cancer epidemiology increasingly use biochemical analyses as an important component. Some of the potentially important considerations when banked blood is used include the conditions and temperature of storage, effects of thawing, and the stability of specific substances under prolonged subfreezing temperatures. I have reviewed a selected number of biochemical substances.
