Alsever's solution
Alsever's solution is a saline liquid used to prevent coagulation of human blood.[1][2] It is composed of an equal volume of 2% dextrose, 0.8% sodium citrate,0.5% citric acid, and 0.42% sodium chloride. This solution is used to study in vitro anti-inflammatory activity of crude drugs and in the HRBC (human red blood cell) stabilization method.[3] It is also used to preserve blood cells from other sources.[4][5]
