    Study Notes

    Blood Specimen Collection

    • Serum specimen is used for testing blood without anticoagulants.

    Anticoagulants in Blood Collection

    • The primary purpose of anticoagulants in blood collection is to prevent blood from clotting.

    Body Fluid Collection

    • Urine is the body fluid commonly collected for testing using a 24-hour collection method.

    Plasma vs Serum

    • The primary difference between plasma and serum is that plasma is the liquid portion of blood that contains clotting factors, while serum is the liquid portion of blood without clotting factors (no fibrinogen).

    Phlebotomy Attire

    • Phlebotomists are recommended to wear laboratory coats, gloves, and face shields during blood collection.
