Sodium oxalate

Vedclass · Answer

(B) Anticoagulants are substances that prevent blood from clotting.Sodium oxalate $(Na_2C_2O_4)$ is commonly used as an anticoagulant in laboratory settings because it precipitates calcium ions $(Ca^{2+})$ from the blood.Since calcium ions are essential for the blood coagulation cascade,their removal prevents the formation of fibrin clots.Therefore,sodium oxalate is added to blood samples during storage to keep them in a liquid state.
