Chemical: 9NC Coagulation sod. cit. 3.2% Cap Colour: light blue Ring colour: black Filling volume (ml): 2 Sterile: sterile Qty / inner pack: 100 Description: PT tube is used for blood coagulation test and applicable to fibrinolytic system. The nixing ratio is 1 part citrate to 9 parts blood.

CONTEXT: - Coagulation testing is challenging and depends on preanalytic factors, including the citrate buffer concentration used. OBJECTIVE: - To better estimate preanalytic effects of the citrate buffer concentration in use, the difference between results obtained by samples with 3.2% and 3.8% citrate was evaluated. light blue-top vacuum tubes (3.2% buffered sodium citrate). Discard the pilot tube. Note: Reference intervals have been established using 3.2% buffered sodium citrate. 3. Fill light blue-top tubes as far as vacuum will allow and mix by gentle inversion five to six times. Exact ratio of nine parts blood to one part anticoagulant must be maintained.

The Effect of 3.2% and 3.8% Sodium Citrate on Specialized

Blood specimens were obtained from 241 patients in 3.2% buffered sodium citrate using standard glass tubes, in 3.2% buffered sodium citrate in plastic tubes, and in 3.2% sodium citrate "sandwich" tubes (plastic within plastic).

With 3.2% buffered sodium citrate solution Provide a safer work environment for all personnel by (1) reducing risk of tube breakage during handling; (2) eliminating breakage when tubes are centrifuged at higher speeds; and (3) eliminating breakage or chipping of tube rims when stopper is removed and reinserted For ESR tube percentage of sodium citrate is 3.8% when we are doing ESR with glass tubes and with plastic ESR tubes,the tubes contain 3.2% sodium citrate solution as anticoagulant. Buffered 3.2% Tri-sodium Citrate solution for coagulation assays and ESR by Westergren method SUMMARY Accurate coagulation testing is dependent on numerous preanalytical variables, which may affect the results of routine coagulation assays. To improve the precision and accuracy of laboratory testing, it is important to identify these variables and MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET acc. to ISO 11014 Page 3 / 4 VACUETTE ® 9NC Coagulation Sodium Citrate 3,2% AH AA 04.03.02-042 Rev.01 Valid from: 03/23/2009 • Flash point: Citric Acid Monohydrate: 345 °C
