Abstract
The anticoagulants heparin and EDTA were compared for inhibitory effects on the detection of cytomegalovirus from washed leukocytes in specimen transport tubes. Evaluation was made by the centrifugation/shell vial culture technique, the pp65 antigenemia assay, and PCR. For each assay, the results with heparin and EDTA were equivalent.Entities:
