Summary: Abstract: This presents a brief summary of the study, the corresponding conclusions drawn and the recommendations offered. In a recent study conducted, ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a potent anticoagulant. It has a component called gingerol which exhibits inhibition of platelet aggregation and thromboxane synthesis. Ginger can be used to preserve the cellular morphology and prevent the clotting of the sample. It sought to determine the effectiveness of ginger extract as anticoagulant in routine hematological examination- Complete Blood Count as to the preservation of cellular morphology and clotting time. It makes use of Experimental research method. The data gathered include the effectiveness of ginger extract as an anticoagulant and the cellular morphology seen, under the microscope which includes RBC, WBC and platelets. The population frame was taken from a total of volunteer subjects coming from Medical Technology students of FEU-NRMF. The query type was used as a tool in gathering the data which make used of records and observations. Based on the gathered data, ginger extract have a potential to act as an anticoagulant for Routine CBC. The results can prove that sample which uses the ginger extract has almost similar results with EDTA. Ginger extract and EDTA can preserve the cellular morphology of WBC and platelets but cannot preserve RBC morphology since there are different factors to be considered like staining and manual dipping of the blood smear. As to its clothing time, 6 out of 10 blood samples with ginger extract didn't clot while EDTA, most of the samples didn't clot. Recommendations are drawn for further study involving the impact and views on ginger extract as an anticoagulant for routine CBC of the different institutions in the society. Other concentrations were needed to be studied if there is no EDTA available for fewer expenses. Other data's and current details for ginger extract may also be researched for further information on the efficiency of this anticoagulant.
