Antimicrobial reagents based on EDTA and optionally including sodium fluroide, useful for example in a method for diluting blood, the method and diluent being especially suitable for use in enumeration and sizing of blood cells. The antimicrobial agent in the blood diluent is potent, but relatively non-toxic to humans, and inexpensive. Furthermore, it does not interfere with blood analysis performed on an automated, blood-analysis instrument. |
