Abstract
The present invention relates to blood sampler and the preparation of blood samples that can be used for not only for blood gas, basic metabolic panel parameter analysis but also for a platelet count and/or white blood count, such as a 3-diff or 5-diff. The blood samples comprise at least one anticoagulant for the determination of blood gas and basic metabolic panel parameters and at least one anti-platelet agent.
Claims20
An in vitro method for preparing a blood sample suitable for blood gas and basic metabolic panel (BMP) parameter analysis and platelet count, wherein blood is combined with
- a) at least one anticoagulant for the determination of blood gas and basic metabolic panel parameters;
- and
- b) at least one anti-platelet agent.
A method for preparing a blood analysis sample comprising the step of
- a) drawing blood from a patient into a blood sampler;
- wherein the blood sampler contains at least one anticoagulant for the determination of blood gas and BMP parameter analysis and at least one anti-platelet agent.
Use of at least one anticoagulant for the determination of blood gas and BMP parameters and at least one anti-platelet agent for the preparation of a blood sample for blood gas and BMP analysis and platelet count.
Use of a blood sampler comprising at least one anticoagulant for the determination of blood gas and BMP parameter analysis and at least one anti-platelet agent for the analysis of blood gas, BMP parameter and/or platelet count.
Blood sampler containing
- a) at least one anti-coagulant agent for blood gas and BMP parameter analysis;
- and
- b) at least one anti-platelet agent.
