All laboratory tests will have required blood components as the necessary transport element for what the test is qualitatively or quantitatively testing for. Because of this, all blood collection tubes contain additives which either encourage the coagulation process (clot activators), or prevent it from occurring (anticoagulants), in order to meet a specific tests' requirements. Additive Types Clot Activators Enable blood to clot, yields ______. Anticoagulants Prevents blood from clotting, yields ______ or WHOLE BLOOD, depending on the additive type. No additive Empty. Contains no additive, blood will enter tube and clot naturally without properties altered. Will yield ______.
