Scope and considerations
Designed for
- ALISTER provides literature-based information about pre-analytical metabolite and lipid stability in EDTA plasma and serum.
Not designed for
- Measuring actual sample integrity or generalizing supported conditions to every specimen matrix and handling procedure.
Important requirements
- A browser for the hosted application or a local R/Shiny installation; supply sample matrix, handling delays, temperatures and analytes or classes of interest.
Considerations
- Evidence coverage and the application's generalization of input conditions constrain interpretation. Review the underlying references and chosen change thresholds for each query.
