Tartrate inhibition of prostatic acid phosphatase improves seminal fluid metabolite stability
ConclusionBased on these results we recommend as standard protocol for the collection of hSF samples, that 10 mM tartrate are added immediately to samples, followed by sample storage/handling at 277 K until clinical processing within 6 h to remove/inactivate enzymes and isolate metabolite supernatant and other cellular fractions.
