  Introduction: Sample stability is necessary for the maintenance of the quality for the final results obtained at different storage time intervals during CBC analysis. In our present study, we have evaluated the stability of various CBC parameters of blood samples stored in k2-EDTA (BD) vials at 4°C (extended storage time: 10 days). Materials and methods: Blood sample (2.5 ml) was drawn directly in K2-EDTA vials. Measurements were done by using MEK-9100 hematology analyzer at regular intervals over an extended period up to 246 h (10 days). Significant differences were analyzed by Paired student’s t-test. Mean percent differences of the all intervals were compared with baseline means. Results: Among CBC parameters, WBC count was stable for up to 126 h, RBC and HGB levels were statistically stable for up to 186 h a.. View More»
