Antibiotics inhibit the growth of bacteria.
A light blue top tube would least likely be used for collecting blood samples for coagulation studies, as these typically require a blue top tube containing sodium citrate for anticoagulation. Light blue top tubes are commonly used for coagulation studies (PT/INR, PTT) and may contain citrate to prevent clotting of the sample.
Citrate chelates calcium, which is a necessary cofactor for several coagulation cascade enzymes.
The humoral coagulation system refers to the protein coagulation factor component.
Overfilling a citrate tube with blood can lead to an incorrect blood-to-anticoagulant ratio, affecting coagulation testing results. It can cause inadequate anticoagulation which may result in clot formation or insufficient mixing of the blood with the anticoagulant. This can lead to inaccurate test results and potentially affect patient care.
Coagulation is a process where solids begin to form, in a liquid. Like when your cut begins to scab over, that is coagulation.
Anticoagulation is the medical term for inhibits clotting.
