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 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 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...
متن کاملPerformance of chemically modified plastic blood collection tubes.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare newly-modified and aged chemoPET tubes, which contain no problematic surfactants, with commercially available serum blood collection tubes (BCTs) for use in analysis of cortisol, total triiodothyronine (TT3), total thyroxine (TT4), and routine clinical chemistry analytes in serum from apparently healthy volunteers and pooled quality control (...
متن کاملBlood collection, shipment, processing, and storage.
As part of the AACR Annual Meeting Methods Workshop "Sample Collection, Processing, and Storage for Large-Scale Studies: Biorepositories to Support Cancer Research," blood specimen collection, processing, storage, and dissemination issues were discussed. Whole blood and blood fractions comprise a major portion of biospecimen collections for population-based studies. Although procedures for coll...
