What is the anticoagulant used in this type of blood test?
Many test tubes use EDTA as the anticoagulant - but there are other anticoagulants used as well. Be more specific if you wish a more specific answer.
What anticoagulant is used most often in collection tubes for hematology studies?
EDTA
What does red top tube test for in the order of draw?
The tube tops can vary depending on supplier, but red top is normally with no anticoagulant so it is used for any tests requiring serum not plasma, so most virology and biochem tests. Not usually used for Haematology tests.
Which tube is used for a coagulation profile?
baby blue
What color tube is to be used for bleeding and coagulation studies?
sky blue

What is the effect of decrease calcium in coagulation?
It hinders it. EDTA, a commonly used anticoagulant, works by chelating calcium. This also has the consequence that large volumes of blood transfusions causes calcium deficiency.
What test is used to diagnose conditions associated with abnormal blood clotting and to monitor anticoagulant therapy?
prothrombin time
What test is used to monitor anticoagulant therapy and is performed to identify high levels of inflammation within the body?
C-reactive protein test (CRP)
Which drug effect does the partial thromboplastin time test monitor?
The PTT test can be used to monitor the effect of heparin on a patient's coagulation system.
What anticoagulant is used most often in collection tubes for hematology studies?
EDTA
What is heparin use for?
Heparin (from ancient greek Hepar,liver)is widely used as an injectable anticoagulant, and has the highest negative charge density of any known biological molecule. It can also be used to form an inner anticoagulant surface on various experimental and medical devices such as test tubesand renal dialysis machines.
What are two anticoagulants used in conducting the hematologic tests?
The anticoagulants most often used are ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetate (EDTA), ammonium-potassium oxalate (Heller and Paul double oxalate), and heparin. THIS LINK WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTION IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH (a.) http://www.free-ed.net/sweethaven/MedTech/Hematology/lessonMain.asp?iNum=0304
Which test is used to diagnose conditions associated with abnormal bleeding and to monitor anticoagulant therapy?
1. INR (international normalised ratio) 2. aPTT
Which test is used to diagnose conditions associated with abnormal clotting times and to monitor anticoagulant therapy?
The pro-time (PT) has traditionally been used. Currently, variations in the reagents used to conduct the test are corrected by using a math formula and are expressed as an international normalized ratio (INR).
What does red top tube test for in the order of draw?
The tube tops can vary depending on supplier, but red top is normally with no anticoagulant so it is used for any tests requiring serum not plasma, so most virology and biochem tests. Not usually used for Haematology tests.
