<p>A method for inhibiting the decomposition of mammalian natriuretic peptides, in particular, BNP by using containers wherein the face coming into contact with specimens is made of a material capable of inhibiting the activation of a substance decomposing peptides. This method makes it possible to stably and conveniently collect specimens for assaying natriuretic peptides. Also provided is a method for assaying natriuretic peptides by using these containers.</p> |
