Experiment 16 Experiments in Clinical Biochemistry and Metabolism

Obtain 3 liters of fresh pig blood (see Supplies and Reagents section for an alternative supply of blood, if necessary) and immediately mix with heparin sulfate (30 mg/liter final concentration) to prevent clotting. Place the blood in an ice bucket and proceed. All additional steps through step 6 should be performed at 4°C. We suggest that steps 1 to 6 be performed by the instructor prior to the beginning of the experiment. If you plan to perform Experiment 16 (Experiments in Clinical Biochemistry and Metabolism ) in conjunction with this experiment, a...
