Design and methods Blood was collected from 6 subjects using \SST\ tubes. Some serum remained in the tube in contact with the barrier gel and was stored at − 80 °C for 12 mo. Results Clinically significant changes occurred only in 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and retinol-binding protein. Conclusions Freezing \SST\ tubes before sample analysis is a viable option for some analytes.
