Alternative pre-analytic sample handling techniques for glucose measurement in the absence of fluoride tubes in low resource settings.
<h4>Introduction</h4>Sodium fluoride (NaF) tubes are the recommended tubes for glucose measurements, but these are expensive, have limited number of uses, and are not always available in low resource settings. Alternative sample handling techniques are thus needed. We compared glucose st...
