Abstract
The aim of the study was to verify whether the use of heparin as an anticoagulant can affect the results of genome size measurements using a flow cytometer. The values obtained by measuring blood samples with different concentrations of heparin were compared. The differences observed were highly significant, suggesting that the results of previous comparative studies, or those determining individual polyploidy, may need reinterpretation. We anticipate that our findings will increase the accuracy of flow cytometric analysis and will be useful for further surveys of genome size undertaken using blood samples.
期刊介绍：
ACTA VETERINARIA BRNO is a scientific journal of the University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Brno, Czech Republic.
The scientific journal Acta Veterinaria Brno is dedicated to the publication of original research findings and clinical observations in veterinary and biomedical sciences. Original scientific research articles reporting new and substantial contribution to veterinary science and original methods that have not been submitted for publication elsewhere are considered for publication. A written statement to this effect should accompany the manuscript, along with approval for publication by the author´s head of department. The authors bear full responsibility for the contents of their contribution. Book reviews are published, too.
