EDTA Stabiiity Study:

Ten EDTA-preserved blood spot cards were analyzed following approximately 33
months of storage at room temperature. The free acid form of EDTA was detected in all
10 of the spot cards. The EDTA-iron complex was detectable in 6 of the l0 spot cards.
Failure to identify the EDTA-iron complex was based on the lack of the less abundant
product lon(m/z 326). The more abundantm/z 300 for EDTA-iron was present in all l0
ofthe spot cards.
