Collection:
| Collection ID: | CO000910 |
| Collection Summary: | The whole blood (10 mL) was collected in a Vacutainer tube from Becton Dickinson (BD). After collection of the whole blood, it was allowed the blood to clot by leaving it undisturbed at room temperature for 30 minutes. The clot was removed by centrifuging at 1,000–2,000 x g for 10 minutes in a refrigerated centrifuge (4 C). The resulting supernatant is designated serum. The serum samples were aliquoted in 100 microliters and stored in a serum bank at -80C. These samples were collected in the Leprosy Outpatient Unit (Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and then they were sent in dry ice to Colorado State University, where it was processed and analyzed for metabolomics. At Colorado State University the samples were stored at -80C until processing. |
