Sample integrity is one of the most important details to consider for the production of quality results in the laboratory. Many factors have the potential to adversely affect the sample: intrinsic patient characteristics (caused by the underlying malady and/or treatment, incorrect patient preparation, etc.), difficult or incorrectly performed collection of sample, correct timing of sample collection relative to drug administration, incorrect processing and transport within the laboratory - just to name a few. This chapter outlines standard common requirements with explanations as a basis for those limitations, and practical laboratory advice to attain and maintain dependable samples. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
