Haematology is the study of blood disease and diseases of the blood forming organs.
For routine haematology we recommend the submission of whole blood taken into EDTA anticoagulant (or Lithium heparin for exotics or small samples that also require biochemistry) and a freshly prepared blood film made at the time of phlebotomy.
It is especially important for haematology that the blood sample is not clotted -the presence of fibrin clots in haematology samples give results that are erroneous.
