They're not just statistics; for goodness' sake, they're children. Over a million kids have been killed, injured, or traumatized. Each one of them has a story, a family, dreams, ambitions, and more.

Our new study showed that Rapid Serum Tubes (RST) can protect the sample from hemolysis during transport and does not have the same “outliers” seen with high sensitivity Troponin in plasma samples (PST & Barricor). Kudos to @hindmalaeb @Yale_LabMed 👇

@ClinChemJoe explains why 21 million Americans may be taking #levothyroxine unnecessarily because current "normal ranges" for #TSH do not account for its wide seasonal variability.

Long live Laboratory developed tests (LDTs)

In a victory for patient care and laboratory medicine, Congress excluded the VALID Act from its end of year omnibus bill. Read more: https://t.co/mkVRioUmh4

Our latest work is out on impurity ratios for mass spec #toxicological analysis, with @IChoucair @ThomasDurantMD courtesy of @Yale_LabMed.

[Joe M. El-Khoury, PhD, DABCC @ClinChemJoe]

#VALIDAct is dead. Long live #CLIA. When the omnibus end-of-year appropriations bill was released this morning VALID was not included. As a result, there will be no legally mandated @US_FDA oversight of lab-developed tests or CLIA labs for at least the next few years.

Laboratorians looking for ways to detect IV-fluid contamination in clinical blood samples, check out our paper to see how wet chemistry experiments helped us build new middleware rules. #clinicalchemistry https://t.co/caSxzULd94
