The area of a blood smear that is tested is called the peripheral blood smear. It is a sample of blood that is spread thinly on a glass slide for examination under a microscope to evaluate the number, shape, and size of blood cells.
A blood smear may become too thin due to an insufficient amount of blood applied to the slide during preparation. Additionally, using a slide that is too smooth or applying excessive pressure while spreading the blood can lead to a very thin smear. Environmental factors, such as a high ambient temperature, can also cause the blood to dry too quickly, preventing proper spreading.
A blood smear typically takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour to dry at room temperature. Factors such as humidity and air circulation can influence the drying time. It's important to ensure the smear is completely dry before proceeding with staining or microscopic examination to avoid distortion of the cells.
