  • Method of carrying out blood tests
    Patent number: 6521460
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of carrying out blood tests. The invention is based on the finding that clinico-chemical blood parameters can be determined using not only blood serum but also blood plasma. Therefore, freshly taken blood samples, which are mixed with at least one thrombin inhibitor, can be used for determining both clinico-chemical parameters and hematological parameters. The clinico-chemical parameters can thus be determined using blood plasma, a separation of coagulable components being not required any more.
