Why is it important?
Labs analysis are very much important for the treatment or diagnosis of any disease.If we use high priced equipment in our sophisticated labs, but take the patients sample in any salt which can affect the result of analysis our all efforts to diagnose or treat the patient would be in vain.It is important to take patient sample in a vial which would have no affect on patients sample analysis for diagnosis.
Perspectives
This article will help the labs pathologist or doctors to do CBC analysis in a salt which have less affect on the above said parameters.The selection of company producing CBC vials are also important for analysis.
