RESUMO
The effect of storage of samples on the assay of lipoprotein(a) depends on the technique used. We have tested the automated Beckman 360 Array rate nephelometer using Dako anti-Lp(a) antibody, and an Immunofrance standard and control serum according to the technique of Gillery et al. We found a very high correlation between serum concentrations before freezing and those after three weeks and six months at -80 degrees C. Variations greater than 15% concerned only low levels of Lp(a) and were probably related to the precision of the technique at low concentrations.
