Efficacy and Safety of Vortexing as a Practical Solution for Resolving Platelet Clumping in hematology laboratories.

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of vortexing as a solution for platelet clumping in hematology labs.
• Implemented vortexing technique on EDTA samples.
• Assessed reproducibility and reliability of the method.
• Compared sample processing efficiency before and after vortexing.
• Vortexing reliably resolved platelet clumping in samples.
• Reduced the need for redraws and manual smear reviews.
• Streamlined processing in high-volume hematology laboratories.
