Who Uses this Product? Healthcare professionals and lab personnel use the BD Vacutainer Fluoride Tubes to collect samples for glucose determinations.
Why They Love It: This tube contains a glycolytic inhibitor, which prevents the breakdown of glucose in blood collection samples. A preserved sample allows for greater accuracy during glucose analysis.
BD Vacutainer Sodium Fluoride Tubes Overview
Vacutainer Sodium Fluoride tubes are used to collect blood samples for glucose determinations. They contain sodium fluoride and potassium oxalate or Na2EDTA. These chemicals preserve the glucose levels in blood samples, so test results are more accurate when using Vacutainer Sodium Fluoride Tubes. These blood collection tubes are available in glass with conventional closures or plastic with Hemogard closures.
Vacutainer Sodium Fluoride Tube Features and Benefits
- Conventional or Hemogard Closures Give Users a Choice
- Glycolytic Inhibitor and Anticoagulant Help Preserve Sample
- Multiple Materials Let Users Choose Their Preferred Option
Reliable Glucose Stability
The Becton Dickinson Vacutainer Sodium Fluoride Potassium Oxalate tubes help maintain the integrity of blood samples. Glucose values in samples that haven't been preserved degrade quickly, resulting in less accurate test results. The tubes that contain sodium fluoride and potassium oxalate act as a glycolytic inhibitor that pauses enzymatic activity. DIsodium EDTA act as an anticoagulant. It preserves the sample so an accurate glucose determination can be taken.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I know which sample tube is correct?
The manufacturer recommends that tubes containing Disodium EDTA and Sodium Fluoride be used if samples are stored for over 24 hours.
What is the difference between conventional closures and Hemogard closures?
The Hemogard closure features a rubber stopper and a plastic shield that protect lab personnel from accidental contact with blood or exposure to bloodborne pathogens. The conventional closure does not have this extra safety measure.
What type of plastic are they made of?
Polyethylene terephthalate, or PET.
Is this product endotoxin-free?
The manufacturer does not claim that they are endotoxin-free.
What is the shelf life?
The expiration date is listed on the tube label.
