We are occasionally faced with the not unusual late blood or bone marrow, often on Friday. Is anyone familiar with any stabilizing reagent that might better preserve a sample than the ACD blood tubes that we are currently using? We would want to preserve the entire whole blood/marrow sample without any enrichment or cell separation. We always have the ficoll then freeze procedure but we would rather be able to perform the analysis on the whole sample with as little manipulation as possible. Any suggestions or experiences will be most appreciated.
