Time-course effects of anticoagulants on platelet size (platelet distribution width, mean platelet volume and platelet-large cell ratio) in whole-blood samples. Whole-blood samples were stored following mild mixing at room temperature for up to 24 h. (a) platelet distribution width. (b) Mean platelet volume. (c) platelet–large cell ratio. In all the parameters, EDTA and heparin anticoagulation treatments significantly increased platelet distribution width (vs. ACD-A anticoagulation treatments) at the same time points from 1 to 24 h. n = 15.
