This might be a stupid question, but do you accept EDTA tubes that are expired? I would always reject these no matter what, but I have two techs that insist on pouring it off to another in-date EDTA tube and another that says, "but do they really expire though?"
I gave it a thought that its probably stable past expiration date, vacuuming capability will probably be decreased and red cell morphology can get affected... but does this affect any blood bank testing?
Thanks in advance.
