ABSTRACT:
The present invention contemplates methods of decontaminating human fluids prior to processing in the clinical laboratory. The techniques handle large volumes of human serum without impairing the testing results. Novel compounds for photodecontaminating biological material are also contemplated which are compatible with clinical testing, in that they do not interfere with serum analytes.
