We use the syringe used for the smears and the syringe used for the aspirate. We do not put it in an anti-coagulate. We simply let the syringe specimen clot and place it in lens paper in a cassette and place in 10% formalin for processing. If you are doing Flow Cytometry/Cytogenetic studies you can use 1ml for these studies and any left in this syringe can also be used for the aspirate/clot. One of our pathologist will purposely get 2mls in the aspirate syringe. One ml for Flow and Cyto (green top sodium heparinized tube) and the other for the clot.
