BD Vacutainer Sodium Fluoride Potassium Oxalate 100Pack Blood Collection Tubes
Venous blood sampling
Glucose analysis
Glucose and lactate determination
BD Vacutainer® glucose tubes are available in sodium fluoride/potassium oxalate, sodium fluoride/sodium EDTA or sodium fluoride/sodium heparin additive combinations.
Glucose values in unpreserved blood samples decrease quickly after collection as glucose is metabolised by the blood cells.
The fluoride additive stops the enzymatic activity of the glycolytic pathway.
To avoid micro-clotting, mix the BD Vacutainer® glucose tube with 8-10 inversions immediately after the blood sample has been taken.
