Question

If you do not add ACD-A to whole blood priot to the spin in the ACP centrfuge, in average, how much time shoyld you have before the ACP can be used without clotting?

Answer 1

Without adding ACD-A to whole blood before spinning it in the ACP centrifuge, there is a risk of clotting.

Step-by-step explanation:

When blood is collected, it contains platelets that play a crucial role in blood clotting. If ACD-A is not added to whole blood before spinning it in the ACP centrifuge, there is a risk that clotting will occur. Platelets release clotting factors that cause proteins to form over wounds and create a clot. Without ACD-A, the absence of anticoagulant may lead to the activation of platelets and the formation of a clot in the blood sample.
