I have a character who has to keep a few ounces of whole blood in a tupperware container for a few days. I've read all the stuff about anticoagulants and such, but he has no access to any of that and the situation is one that arose suddenly, without planning. The blood has to stay liquid for this time. If it's in an airtight container and it's regularly mixed, is it going to solidfy in three days or will it stay liquid? He really has no access to anything but water that he could add to it. It could be refrigerated.
It's not a major plot point, but it's been bothering me a little that I don't know if it's even possible.
Thanks!
