Prospective Evaluation of the StatusFirst™ CHF NT-proBNP Device in Human Whole Blood and Plasma Samples (WB-13)

December 8, 2008 updated by: Nanogen, Inc.
The primary objective of the study is to establish the correlation between NT-proBNP measurements in fresh human whole blood samples and those in plasma samples from the same study subjects, where said samples are collected in EDTA and Li-Hep anticoagulant tubes and measured by the StatusFirst™ CHF NT-proBNP device in conjunction with the DXpressTM Reader in a laboratory setting.
