Anticoagulation

Makes up the red line on the hematocrit tube

Front 34

Procedure for hematocrit test

Back 34

1. Place capillary tube in vertical slot so that blue clay is lined up with the small red line

2. Slide the vertical slot horizontally until the top of the plasma lines up the the 100% line

3. Move the diagonal piece so that the black line runs along the upper edge of the RBC

4. Read your percentage at the top

Front 35

Procedure for hemoglobin estimate test

Back 35

1. Gently roll your bleeding finger over tallquist paper

2. Compare the coloration with the Tallquist scale by placing the paper under the holes in the Tallquist scale booklet
