Abstract: A method of preparation of a blood sample with a reagent for hematology is disclosed.

Abstract: A blood sampler is disclosed. The blood sampler contains a solid mixture comprising a compound selected from iloprost, beraprost, treprostinil, cicaprost, carbacyclin, EP 157 ((Z)-7-[(1R,2R,3R,4S)-3-[(Z)-benzhydryloxyiminomethyl]-2-bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-enyl]hept-5-enoic acid), FK-788 (2-[[(6R)-6-(diphenylcarbamoyloxymethyl)-6-hydroxy-7,8-dihydro-5H-naphthalen-1-yl]oxy]acetic acid), and taprostene, as well as any stereoisomers and salts thereof, wherein said compound is dispersed in a matrix of a water-soluble polymer material and/or a sugar.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for determining a blood gas parameter and/or a basic metabolic panel parameter in a blood sample comprising combining the blood sample with an anti-coagulant and an anti-platelet agent, and determining said blood gas parameter and/or parameter in the sample. In some aspects, the invention relates to determining said parameters in samples that have been subjected to pre-analytical stress.

Abstract: The present invention relates to blood sampler and the preparation of blood samples that can be used for not only for blood gas, basic metabolic panel parameter analysis but also for a platelet count and/or white blood count, such as a 3-diff or 5-diff. The blood samples comprise at least one anticoagulant for the determination of blood gas and basic metabolic panel parameters and at least one anti-platelet agent.
