> > > Hi Michelle, Pleural fluid lasts a fairly long time if you don't centrifuge it and leave it in suspension. Of course it will last even longer if properly fixed. I have returned to a stored (unfixed) pleural fluid for retrospective testing up to a week later. The longer you let it sit though, the more complications can occur like bacterial growth and further call division or death depending on what's going on in the fluid.
