Reason
Due to tubes have missing additive/ anticoagulant resulting in clotting in most cases. A completely clotted sample would lead to no results being reported, which could lead to a delay in treatment or diagnosis. An erroneous glucose or lactose result from a partially clotted sample could lead to inappropriate treatment.
