Question
Chapter 13, Problem 27RA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The mechanism by which the coumarin drugs, heparin, aspirin and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) act as anticoagulants and which of them are effective when added to any test tube.
Introduction:
Anticoagulant helps to prevent blood clot, it prevents blood cells from adhering together to form a clot. Aspirin, coumarin, (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and heparin are examples of anticoagulants.

- What is the essence of the control band is pregnancy (HCG) test?arrow_forwardPlease explain: A laboratory scientist working the night shift receives a sample for send-out testing. The test is ordered infrequently, so the laboratory scientist consults the reference laboratory manual for instructions on how to process the sample. The processing instructions say to send two samples, a serum sample and a 1:100 dilution of serum, both refrigerated. 1. The sample received by the laboratory is in a gold-topped tube with a serum separator. Is this sample adequate to process for the send-out test? Select the best letter choice and give a brief explanation. A. Yes. The tube is adequate for a test requiring serum. B. No. This tube is not adequate for a test requiring serum. 2.
