Résumé

Alzheimer's disease (AD) cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers have recently been included in the criteria for AD diagnosis. Unfortunately, their wider use in routine and interpretation require more standardization, particularly for the pre-analytical steps. In particular, amyloid-β (Aβ)42 peptide measurement is strongly influenced by the type of collection tube and by repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
