Description
Tina Felfeli and co-authors test how long cytokine markers stay stable in stored eye fluid samples. Reliable samples are the bedrock of biomarker research. Freezing and thawing can quietly degrade the signals.
Fluid came from the front and back of twenty-five eyes. Samples waited in deep freeze for set spans. Levels of twenty-seven cytokines were measured at each point. Up to three freeze-thaw cycles were also tried. Four markers fell clearly with storage time. The drop began as early as three months in. Other markers held steadier across the full span. The results set handling rules for eye biobanks and labs and clinics and wards alike.
