Interesting. What mechanism or phenomenon are you proposing would be happening? Why do you think sampling order has more influence than the sample method (venipuncture v. finger prick)?
> Further, when the baseline (i.e. other labs) also have varying results, its fair to call into question the whole study.
Why? That's an expected outcome when dealing with multiple testing labs.
