Umbilical cord blood collection with an infant feeding tube.
Placental vessels contain a quarter to a third of cord blood at birth(2) which is now being used for stem cell transfusions in Fanconi's anemia, leukemia, thalassemia major, sickle cell anemia and aplastic anemia. The first premature infant who received autologous cord blood transfusion was reported by Ballin et al.{2). We report an indigenously developed cord blood collection technique which c...
متن کاملInterferences from blood collection tube components on clinical chemistry assays
Improper design or use of blood collection devices can adversely affect the accuracy of laboratory test results. Vascular access devices, such as catheters and needles, exert shear forces during blood flow, which creates a predisposition to cell lysis. Components from blood collection tubes, such as stoppers, lubricants, surfactants, and separator gels, can leach into specimens and/or adsorb an...
متن کاملAn evaluation of automated blood collection mixers.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We investigated the mixing capacity of two whole blood (WB) collection mixers. MATERIALS AND METHODS WB was simulated by using a 25% glycerol solution warmed to 35 degrees C. Citrate-phosphate-dextrose (CPD) anticoagulant of a collection system was stained with toluidine blue, and simulated WB was added at 30, 60 or 90 ml/min, respectively (n = 3 per flow speed). The...
متن کاملCTC-mRNA (AR-V7) Analysis from Blood Samples—Impact of Blood Collection Tube and Storage Time
Circulating tumour cells (CTCs) are an emerging resource for monitoring cancer biomarkers. New technologies for CTC isolation and biomarker detection are increasingly sensitive, however, the ideal blood storage conditions to preserve CTC-specific mRNA biomarkers remains undetermined. Here we tested the preservation of tumour cells and CTC-mRNA over time in common anticoagulant ethylene-diamine-...
متن کاملCollection of blood specimens by venipuncture for plasma-based coagulation assays: necessity of a discard tube.
The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) recently abandoned its recommendation for drawing a discard tube when performing a prothrombin time (PT)/international normalized ratio (INR) or an activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). Because there is currently no evidence that a discard tube is necessary for more specialized coagulation assays, we studied the need for a discard t...
