ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a composition for the stabilization of sulphur-containing amino acids and/or for the inhibition of the continuous formation of sulphur-containing amino acids in withdrawn blood, to the use of suitable substances and compositions therefor as well as optionally for the determination of sulphur-containing amino acids in blood, to a process for these purposes, as well as to a blood collecting device applied appropriately to these processes.
