Abstract: Previous studies on blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease suggest a less invasive blood test might be a valuable screening tool for Alzheimer-specific pathology. Pre-analytical sample storage conditions seem to play an important role on amyloid-β (Aβ) stability, impacting reliability and reproducibility. This study shows that Aβ40, Aβ42, and Aβ42/40 levels significantly and early decrease during storage at room temperature in whole blood or plasma. Storing blood samples at 4°C leads to stable Aβ peptide concentrations up to 72 h. In addition, Aβ peptides can be measured in capillary blood with a stable Aβ42/40 ratio up to 72 h at 4°C.
