Objective: This study aims to investigate the impact of refrigeration time and blood volume on the success rate of peripheral blood chromosomal analysis using response surface methodology (RSM). Methods: Peripheral blood samples from 30 volunteers were subjected to chromosomal analysis under different refrigeration duration periods (≤7 days, 8 days, 9 days, 10 days, 11 days, 12 days, 13 days, 14 days) along with different blood volumes (0.2 mL, 0.3 mL, 0.4 mL, 0.5 mL, 0.6 mL, 0.7 mL, and 0.8 mL). The effects of refrigeration time and blood volume on the success rate of peripheral blood chromosomal analysis were determined using the Chi-square test for trend, followed with Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, and RSM analysis to identify the optimal combination of refrigeration time and blood volume. Results: The refrigeration time within 10 days had a minor impact on the success rate, while refrigeration time more than 11 days significantly decreased the success rate. An increase in blood volume slightly improved the success rate. The success rate showed both linear and nonlinear changes with refrigeration time, while the effect of blood volume was primarily linear. The highest success rate was observed at a refrigeration time of ≤7 days and a blood volume of 0.8 mL. The interaction between refrigeration time and blood volume had a significant impact on the success rate. Conclusion: It is recommended to keep the refrigeration time of blood samples within 7 days and control the blood volume at 0.8 mL to maximize the success rate of chromosomal analysis.
