	I seem to remember someone in this newsgroup mentioning awhile ago that
if you used heparinized vacutainer tubes, you would get fewer monocytes
in your buffy coat.  I thought I had printed this out, but I can't find
it anywhere.  Is there a reference for this?  I haven't found anything.
It could be a function of whether the vacutainer tubes are siliconized
or not (some EDTA tubes appear to be).	Could anyone help my memory?
	Thanks, Betty-Anne
