Whole blood, kept close to how it naturally flows in our systems, is also used often. This is all blood components together-- plasma, with clotting proteins floating freely, along with RBCs, WBCs, platelets, other formed elements. Once blood is collected, if correctly inverted and collection handling and processing requirements are followed (lecture next week on using laboratory directory to find these requirements), then blood will settle and eventually yield one of these three ______.

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 ______.

Both plasma and serum are very often used for laboratory testing. ______, kept close to how it naturally flows in our system, is also used often. Whole Blood ______, kept close to how it naturally flows in our systems, is also used often. This is all blood components together-- plasma, with clotting proteins floating freely, along with RBCs, WBCs, platelets, other formed elements. Once blood is collected, if correctly inverted and collection handling and processing requirements are followed (lecture next week on using laboratory directory to find these requirements), then blood will settle and eventually yield one of these three statuses. 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 SERUM. Anticoagulants Prevents blood from clotting, yields PLASMA 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 SERUM.
