A suspension composition for a hematology analysis control particularly useful for preserving relevant detectable characteristics of blood cells for a prolong stability period. The suspension may include at least one polysaccharide, which may include or derive from chitosan and/or chitin, as a stabilizing agent.

Suspension composition for hematology analysis control

Compositions and Methods for Stabilizing Circulating Tumor Cells Methods and compositions for stabilizing a biological sample for analysis, comprising the steps of obtaining in a sample collection device a biological sample from a subject, especially blood, the biological sample including at least one circulating tumor cell from the subject. The methods may include a step of contacting the biological sample with a protective agent composition that includes a preservative agent, an optional anticoagulant, and a quenching agent to form a mixture that includes the protective agent composition and the sample.
