Anticoagulant Citrate Phosphate Dextrose Solution, also known as ACD solution, is a type of anticoagulant used in medical, dental, and veterinary settings. It is commonly used for preserving blood samples and preventing blood clotting during procedures such as blood transfusions or blood banking.
ACD solution is a mixture of citrate, phosphate, and dextrose. The citrate component acts as an anticoagulant by binding to calcium ions in the blood, which are necessary for the clotting process. By chelating calcium, ACD solution prevents the formation of blood clots.
The phosphate component in ACD solution helps to maintain the pH balance of the blood, ensuring that it remains stable and suitable for storage or transfusion. The dextrose component provides a source of energy for the cells in the blood sample, helping to maintain their viability during storage.
