During this interactive session, speakers from two leading academic institutions in the United States will discuss their experience with how they have managed the challenge of choosing serum or plasma as primary specimen type for their laboratories. The learnings from this session will benefit laboratories considering adopting plasma for the first time, or considering adopting plasma more broadly.
