Area of Science:

  • Clinical Trials
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Hematology

Background:

  • The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study requires efficient hemostasis sample processing.
  • Previous development of a blood collection and processing system (BCPS) laid the groundwork for this study.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To integrate a BCPS into an organizational plan to enhance efficiency and reduce errors in hemostasis sample processing for the ARIC study.
  • To assess the feasibility and impact of the integrated plan through a pilot study.

Main Methods:

  • Designed organizational trays for blood and aliquot tubes.
  • Developed a step-by-step processing plan.
  • Conducted a pilot study with 95 healthy subjects across 4 ARIC field centers.
  • Measured blood flow (time to fill first tube), total processing time, and markers of in vitro hemostasis activation (beta-thromboglobulin, platelet factor 4).

Main Results:

  • The mean time to fill the first tube was 23 seconds, with no significant differences between field centers.
  • Total sample processing time was consistently under 60 minutes per subject.
  • Processing samples in pairs reduced the time for two subjects to 70 minutes, significantly increasing operational efficiency.
  • In vitro hemostasis activation markers remained comparable to previous findings, indicating sample integrity.

Conclusions:

  • The integrated organizational plan and BCPS effectively increase efficiency and minimize errors in hemostasis sample processing for multicenter studies.
  • The system ensures timely and reliable collection of hemostasis data, crucial for large-scale epidemiological research like the ARIC study.
