Once a cell sample enters a preservation system, the analytical result is no longer determined solely by its original biological state, but is instead jointly influenced by the anticoagulation mode, osmotic environment, buffering conditions, degree of metabolic suppression, and processing ...

Anticoagulants are auxiliary substances used to prevent blood from clotting ex vivo by inhibiting activation of coagulation factors, potentiating endogenous anticoagulant pathways, or reducing the availability of Ca²⁺.
Heparin (Heparin, abbreviated as Hep) is a highly sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and essentially a long-chain polysaccharide composed of repeating disaccharide units.
Peripheral blood is one of the commonly used samples in our flow experiments. Since blood coagulates in the presence of coagulation factors after it is isolated from the body, the collection of peripheral blood samples requires the use of blood collection tubes with anticoagulants or the ...
