英文解释

Anticoagulant is used to prevent clot formation both in vitro and in vivo. In the specific field of in vitro diagnostics, anticoagulant is commonly added to collection tubes either to maintain blood in the fluid state for hematological testing or to obtain suitable plasma for coagulation and clinical chemistry analyses.
