Comparison of BMC characteristics derived from 15% sodium citrate (SC) and 100 U/mL heparin sodium (HS) (Series 2): (a) total nucleated cell (TNC) count per milliliter, (b) fold concentration of TNC count/milliliter in BMC over initial BMA, (c) nucleated cell (NC) viability, (d) colony-forming units with fibroblast morphology (CFU-f) counts per milliliter, and (e) frequency of CFU-f amongst the TNC population. Graphs display the population mean and standard error of the mean. ns: not significant, , , and .
