Comparison of a novel venipuncture system versus a standard system for hemolysis prevention  
An examination into the occurrence of hemolysis by type of blood collection system. Hemolysis, the breakdown of red blood cells that  releases hemoglobin into the blood stream or blood collection devices, is a concern of clinical laboratories because it affects test results. This study hopes to determine whether certain types of collection techniques will reduce the chance and severity of hemolysis by comparing the S-Monovette® collection tube system with a standard vacuum tube system used to draw blood specimens from IV lines.  Co-Investigator
