To remove blood or hemoglobin from something; used in medical or biochemical contexts.
From de- (remove) plus hematize (to make into blood/hemoglobin), derived from Greek haima (blood), used in specialized medical and research terminology.
When researchers dehematize tissue samples, they're essentially washing out all the blood so they can study the actual cellular structure underneath without red blood cells obscuring the view!
