Warming a specimen drawn for cbc to 37 celcius, or body temperature, will not cause an abnormal result. Most CBC analyzers are maintained at this temperature internally so the blood is partially warmed before being analyzed anyways.

For some people, the blood MUST be warmed because of proteins (cold agglutinants) that can cause abnormal results if not prewarmed.

However, heating the blood over body temperature can damage the cells and lead to abnormal results.
