I am interested in the Free Fatty Acid Quantification Kit (ab65341). It says to be suitable for the plasma. My question is if this kit suitable for the mouse plasma containing heparin?

Answer
Blood needs to be collected using an anticoagulant such as EDTA, sodium citrate, sodium fluoride, or ammonium oxalate. Heparinized plasma is not the best choice as heparin could interfere with the assay.
