I am assuming your question is in regards to a blood sample. Hemolized blood samples means that the red blood cells have been destroyed. This can happen in several ways, i.e. using a needle that is too small with high pressure while drawing the blood sample or even spinning the blood sample too long in the centrifuge prior to sending for lab testing. The hemolized red cells break open releasing the hemoglobin from within.
