Antibodies specifically reacting with platelets only in the presence of EDTA. by the platelet immunofluorescence test. were found in the serum of 20 patients with pseudothrombocytopenia due to in vitro EDTA-dependent platelet agglutination. These antibodies reacted optimally at 0-4’C. In 1 9 patients. IgG antibodies were detected; in 8 patients. 1gM or IgA antibodies were also found. In one pat...

Titrimetric estimation of calcium with disodium ethylene diamine tetra-acetate (E.D.T.A., sodium edetate), as performed on serum (Baron and Bell, 1957), cannot be applied directly to most other biological specimens because of their high concentration of phosphate. A high ratio of phosphate to calcium in the material titrated causes a drawnout and inaccurate endpoint. A rapid procedure for calci...

Iron is a very important element to form hemoglobin (Hb). Blood supplement tablets which are often consumed in the process of adding iron ferro fumarate, so this study aims determine levels (Fe) contained blood drugs (ferro fumarate). This type research was laboratory experiment using complexometric method and complex forming substance, namely disodium ethylene diamine tetra acetate (Na2EDTA). ...

Multichannel electronic cell counters are now in widespread use in haematology laboratories. Platelet counts are given routinely by many instruments and low platelet counts generate much further investigation. A falsely low platelet count may expose the patient to unnecessary and expensive investigation and treatment, and we report two illustrative cases. The platelet counts were performed on b...
