  • Statistical comparison was performed on clot types with similar pre-coagulated composition and/or similar percentage fibrin/RBC/WBC in the coagulated sample.

  • A p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. A positive or negative sign refers to an increase or decrease in the value, respectively.

  • *No WBC comparison.

  • RBC, red blood cell; WBC, white blood cells.
