Abstract
This paper brings forward some simple logistics to an improved sample handling of clinical specimens. This comprises clean room conditions, clean laboratory ware, ultra-pure reagents and good analytical practise. Sample handling procedures for blood, urine, soft tissues and pharmaceuticals will be briefly discussed.
