  • Collection tubes must be filled to completion to ensure a proper blood-to- anticoagulant ratio.
  • If the patient's hematocrit exceeds 55%, the volume of citrate in the collection tube must be adjusted.
  • The sample should be mixed immediately by gentle inversion at least six times to ensure adequate mixing of the anticoagulant with the blood.
