Plot indicating analytes with notable differences in mean levels between serum and EDTA plasma for 24 subjects. The ratio of measured mean analyte levels (serum:EDTA plasma) is plotted in rank order from largest to smallest by analyte. Analytes with notably higher levels measured in serum (ratio >1.5) and EDTA plasma (< 0.667) are indicated. Horizontal lines indicate descriptive cut-points used to define notable differences.
