Thanks to the great help of Dr. Robert Coker, this time also serum-parameters from the 430mi runners can be evaluated. To accomplish this, a mobile centrifuge and a vapor shipper were provided by Dr. Coker. In the vapor shipper the processed serum-samples are stable at -196°C (-320°F) in liquid nitrogen.
