ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a composition useful in the processing of blood and cerebrospinal fluid to help maintain sample integrity for analytical testing. The composition generally includes a first enzyme inhibitor selected from the group of enzyme inhibitors consisting of inhibitors which allow substantially the function of metalo-peptidase while inhibiting at least one enzyme selected from the group of enzymes consisting of endopeptidase, exopeptidase and sulfhydryl-mediated proteases, and inhibitors which substantially inhibit the function of metalo-peptidase, wherein where the first enzyme inhibitor inhibits metalo-peptidase, the assaying composition further comprises a second enzyme inhibitor suitable to inhibit at least one enzyme selected from the group of enzymes consisting of endopeptidase, exopeptidase, metalo-peptidase and sulfhydryl-mediated proteases. Further disclosed is an apparatus which includes a tube containing the inhibitors into which the bodyfluids are placed. In the method, blood or cerebrospinal fluid is contacted with the inhibitors prior to analytical testing. Also disclosed are products of the bodyfluids and inhibitors which are useful for analytical testing.
