Pentraxin 3 stability in serum and urine samples at –20 °C during a 4-week period
Pentraxin 3 can be stored in serum samples for a maximum of 2 weeks at -20 °C before analysis to measure representative results. Because PTX3 is not stable in urine samples, such samples should be analyzed on the day of sample collection.
