  48. APPENDIX 3 Summary Blood collection has to be done by trained personal or under the supervision of them. Centrifuged serum should not have any debris. Exact pH has to be maintained in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). Do all the vortexing properly whenever required and ensure complete mixing of the pellet in the solution. Sonication has to be done as per the optimized protocol. Follow exact timing as mentioned in the protocol and store the samples properly. Following the above mentioned precaution and steps involved in the extraction highly efficient extraction can be done
