Advanced statistical methods were applied to expose any relevant changes in sNfL concentration due to different storing and processing conditions. We found that sNfL concentrations remained stable when samples were frozen within 24h (mean absolute difference 0.2pg/ml; intraindividual variation below 0.1%). Repeated thawing and re-freezing up to three times did not change measured sNfL concentration significantly, either (mean absolute difference 0.7pg/ml; intraindividual variation below 0.2%). We conclude that the soluble sNfL concentration is unaffected at 4-8°C when samples are frozen within 24h and single aliquots can be used up to three times. These observations should be considered for planning future studies.
