Why heamolysate kept in cold ice water?

Hemolysate is kept in cold ice water to preserve its integrity and prevent degradation. Cold temperatures slow down enzymatic activity and metabolic processes that could lead to the breakdown of hemoglobin and other components within the hemolysate. This preservation is crucial for maintaining the sample's stability for further analysis or experimentation. Additionally, keeping hemolysate cold minimizes the risk of bacterial growth, ensuring the accuracy of any subsequent tests.
