anticoagulant solutions

Anticoagulant solutions are special liquids used to prevent blood from clotting. They work by interfering with the blood's natural clotting process, making blood less likely to form dangerous clots. These solutions are essential in medical tests, transfusions, or procedures to keep blood flow smooth and prevent blockages. Common anticoagulants include heparin and EDTA, each suited for specific purposes. Overall, they help maintain blood in a liquid state for safe handling and accurate testing, reducing the risk of harmful clot formation in the body or during medical procedures.
