What is the primary choice of collection |
EDTA (Purple Top) |
|
|
a tripotassium salt inhibits coagulation by chelating the binding of Ca ions preserves cellular morphology and prevents platelet aggregation increases cell shrinkage |
EDTA |
|
|
What is the second choice of collection |
NaCit (Blue top tube) |
|
|
PLATELET ONLY binds Ca into a soluble complex DO NOT report any other parameters Multiply by 1.1 |
NaCit |
|
|
What is the third choice of collection |
ACD (yellow top) |
|
|
Platelet only usually used to obtain accurate platelet count when clumps seen with EDTA DO NOT report any other peramiters Mulitply results by 1.17 |
