Whole Blood?!!!

[firework1]

Is there a way to permenantly stopping whole blood from coagulating? Does free-thawed whole blood coagulate any slower?

Thanks a lot.

How about EDTA?

Or heparin
Freeze thawed blood??? That´s no longer blood, thats an ugly mess: Cells, cell fragments, cell content mixed with serum or plasma (most likely the blood coagulated while in the process of freezing, or if it was shock frozen, in the process of thawing).

Don't give it to someone called Vlad......sorry!!!!

lots of heparin, some mixing, careful consideration of what touches it...
