Detailed explanation-1: -The most commonly used anticoagulant is CPDA-1 (citrate, phosphate, dextrose, adenine), which allows for 35 days storage at 1° to 6°C.
Detailed explanation-2: -The results showed that at temperatures from 10 to 33 degrees C, the shelf life of CPDA whole blood ranges from 2.5 days to 18 days, while shelf life of ACD whole blood ranges from 1 day to 13 days.
Detailed explanation-3: -For these pre-analytical variables, the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) H21-A5 has recommended that specimens should be analyzed within 24 h for PT and 4 h for APTT and other assays if stored at room temperature (25°C).
Detailed explanation-4: -Acid citrate dextrose is the most commonly used anticoagulant to store blood in the blood banks as it prevents coagulation by inhibiting the action of the calcium ions.
