Ing. Luděk ©prongl
Klinická laboratoř, Oblastní nemocnice Kladno, a.s.

The paper deals with the sources of errors occurring during the collection and transport of biological material. The individual
phases of the collection process are discussed, ranging from patient preparation to collection termination. Possible sources of
errors in the individual phases and their effect on laboratory results are presented. Also described are the sources of errors during
transport – the effect of time and conditions.

Keywords: biological material, collection, transport, primary sample
