Released in Summer 2025, the following recommendations are intended to be guiding principles for ADRCs for the collection, processing, and storage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood for Alzheimer’s disease biomarker research purposes. Such guidelines will foster data harmonization across ADRCs while still encouraging Center investigators to explore novel CSF and blood Alzheimer's disease biomarkers and study the optimization of pre-analytic collection and storage methods. These guidelines were developed with consideration of available evidence to date on optimal pre-analytic procedures with the understanding that many areas require more research.

These guidelines are accessible on the Best Practices page on the NACC Website
