Title: Lind-Vac 8.1ml Vacuum Blood Collection Tubes with 3.8% Sodium Citrate (50/pack) for Coagulation Studies

Description:

These high-quality 8.1ml Lind-Vac vacuum blood collection tubes with 3.8% sodium citrate (0.129M) are specifically designed for coagulation studies. Ideal for analyzing hemostasis systems and blood coagulation properties including prothrombin, thromboplastin, fibrinogen, and clotting factors. The 16x100mm tubes feature a light blue closure and contain a buffered sodium citrate solution, ensuring optimal blood pH (7.1-7.35) crucial for accurate prothrombin parameter assessment. The 1:9 blood-to-anticoagulant ratio ensures reliable results.

Key Features for Accurate Coagulation Testing:

• Precise Anticoagulant Concentration: 3.8% sodium citrate (0.129M) for consistent results.
• Optimal Blood pH Maintenance: Maintains blood pH within the critical range of 7.1-7.35.
• Easy Handling and Mixing: Simply invert the tube 5-6 times after collection for thorough mixing.
• Clear Volume Indication: A clear indicator mark shows the correct blood fill level.
• Convenient Packaging: 50 tubes per pack for efficient laboratory workflow.
• Durable and Reliable: Manufactured from high-quality medical-grade plastic.

Important Considerations for Optimal Results:

• Avoid First Draw: Do not use this tube for the first blood draw after venipuncture to minimize contamination from tissue thromboplastin.
• Remove Tourniquet: Remove the tourniquet before drawing blood into the tube.
• Prompt Mixing: Immediately invert the tube gently 5-6 times after blood collection.
• Verify Fill Level: Check that the blood level reaches the indicated mark.
• Timely Analysis: Analyze samples within 2 hours of collection for optimal accuracy. Do not use after 24 hours.
