The use of point-of-care diagnostics can prevent a number of complications and leading to improved health outcomes for patients in critical condition. Research have shown that elongation of the preanalytic stage leading of errors of studies and changes the results of a number of laboratory parameters. The article presents the key problems associated with the elongation of the preanalytic stage and possible solutions to address the shortcomings of existing diagnostics.

Towards the end of the 20th century, the number of subjects with diabetes and obesity rose exponentially. The discoveries of insulin- and appetite-modulating chemical signals, including glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), secreted from the gastrointestinal system, led to development of a new group of drugs which now are being used for glucose-lowering therapy and weight loss. Understanding of the physiology of gut derived signals and their pathophysiologi-cal importance requires accurate measurements of their circulat-ing levels.

Correlative studies have identified numerous biomarkers that are individualizing therapy across many medical specialties, including oncology. Accurate interpretation of these studies requires the collection of tissue samples of sufficient quality. Tissue quality can be measured by changes in levels of gene expression and can be influenced by many factors including pre-analytical conditions, ischemic effects and the surgical collection procedure itself.
