Preanalytic
The preanalytic phase of laboratory quality includes variables that could impact the biological readings obtained from a specimen collected from a patient. Specimens could include collection of blood, a urine sample, or a biopsy. The preanalytic phase includes the method for specimen collection, how it is handled from the time it is obtained until it is tested, and how it is processed to generate the necessary biological readout.
