Sample requirements and biological matrices
BEVITAL analyzes several biological matrices, including serum, plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, urine and whole blood for selected methods. Because matrix compatibility and minimum volume depend on the analyte and analytical platform, users should confirm sample type, available volume and study design before finalizing a panel.
Matrices we analyze
Our platforms are optimized for these matrices, with high precision and minimal sample consumption.
Serum
Accepted on all platforms except the NAD metabolome (platform J).
All platforms except JEDTA plasma
Accepted on all platforms except the NAD metabolome (platform J). For many biomarkers this is the most stable matrix, see Sample stability.
All platforms except JCerebrospinal fluid
Selected analytes on platforms A, B and D.
Platforms A, B, DUrine
Selected analytes on platform C.
Platform CWhole blood
Used for the NAD metabolome (platform J).

Volumes by analytical platform
Use this table when you build your own panel with Mix-and-Match. The total volume depends on which platforms your analytes are measured on.
