hello

welcome to health care magic

1.5-2ml of blood is sufficient for complete hemogram. If some biochemical tests are also needed then serum has to be extracted for which collection of upto 5 ml of blood is sufficient to carry out all the tests.

Hello.

Thanks for writing to us.

Usually 1.5-2ml of blood is sufficient for complete hemogram. If some biochemical tests are also needed then serum has to be extracted for which collection of upto 5 ml of blood is sufficient to carry out all the tests.

I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
