Performance Comparison of Two Different Branded Blood Collection Tubes Used in Biochemistry Laboratory
Background and Aims: Blood collection tubes (BCT) with gel separators are diagnostic devices that can affect all laboratory processes. In this study, the aim was to compare the performance of a new brand of BCT with the sample tubes that are well-known and widely used in the market. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were taken from 50 healthy volunteers to two brands of BCTs (KWS and BD Vac...
متن کاملBlood collection in cell-stabilizing tubes does not impact germline DNA quality for pediatric patients
OBJECTIVES Liquid biopsy technologies allow non-invasive tumor profiling for patients with solid tumor malignancies by sequencing circulating tumor DNA. These studies may be useful in risk-stratification, monitoring for relapse, and understanding tumor evolution. The quality of DNA obtained for these studies is improved when blood samples are collected in tubes that stabilizing white blood cell...
متن کاملImportance of blood-collection tubes in plasma lidocaine determinations.
In 25 clinical samples serum lidocaine concentrations fell from a mean of 6.5 +/- 2.1 mg/L (mean +/- SD) to 4.9 +/- 1.8 mg/L (p less than 0.001) when the blood sample was allowed to make contact with the stopper of the Vacutainer collection tube. In vitro experiments showed that this effect of the stopper occurred only with whole blood and was dependent on sample concentration. The plasma bindi...
متن کاملClinical education in reducing contamination rate in blood culture collection
Introduction / objectives At the Institute, blood cultures are drawn by doctors. Since 2009, more than 5% of blood cultures grew organisms as contaminant and was a concern to the Infection Control Committee. Our target is to reduce to 3% to meet the standard set by the American Society of Microbiology. The objectives of the clinical education are to enforce best practices in blood culture colle...
متن کاملEvaluation of blood collection tubes specific for homocysteine measurement.
Ned Tijdschr Klin Chem Labgeneesk 2008, vol. 33, no. 3 Tenslotte kunnen vraagtekens gezet worden bij de gegevens vermeld in de bijsluiter van de Immulite 2500. In de bijsluiter is de volgende correlatie beschreven: Immulite 2500 = 0,93 x Immulite 2000 + 10,7 pg/ml (5). Vertaald naar pmol/l zou een waarde van 150 pmol/l op de Immulite 2000 een waarde van 147 pmol/l op de Immulite 2500 moeten opl...
