Sodium Fluoride/Potassium Oxalate (NaF/K Oxalate) tubes (vacutainers), also sometimes referred to as gray-top tubes due to their color, are specifically designed for tests that require preserved levels of certain analytes, particularly blood glucose (sugar).

tube는 실리카결정(silica particle)으로 코팅되어 있어, 혈액이 들어가면 응고를 촉진시키게 된다. (혈소판에 달라붙어 thrombin의 형성을 촉진시키고, 결국 fibrin 형성을 촉진하여 blood clot을 만들어 낸다.)

BD Vacutainer Plus Tubes are made of a special formulation of the plastic, polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This special formulation is extremely strong, dimensionally stable, and resistant to chemicals and breakage. What speed and time should the BD Vacutainer Blood Collection tubes be spun at?

To compare glucose values obtained using sodium flouride (NaF) tubes and serum separation tubes (SST) in a tertiary care hospital laboratory setting. This study was conducted at the Clinical Biochemistry Laboratory, Royal Hospital, Oman.

Greiner has introduced a glucose-specific tube (Glucomedics) containing NaF/KOx, citrate, and EDTA to minimise glycolysis. The aim was to determine which tube would be the most suitable for accurate glucose estimation in a routine laboratory setting.

Nov 10, 2023 · Sodium fluoride potassium oxalate tubes, called NaF/KOx tubes, are indispensable clinical chemistry and haematology tools. These tubes are pivotal in preserving blood samples for various diagnostic tests, ensuring accurate results.

This study aimed to analyze the differences in blood glucose levels between routine serum tubes and sodium fluoride (NaF) tubes over time intervals. Methods: The study included 50 participants from whom blood was collected in both serum and NaF tubes.

Nidovac™ Na-Fluoride Tubes are available globally acceptable combination for NaF+EDTA, as this combination is preferred due better stability and lesser chances of Plasma Haemolysis as compared to the Oxalate version.

This study reports on a blood collection tube that enables measurement of glucose and HbA1c. Based on the results of validation, we conclude that NaF-ATP tubes can reduce decreases in glucose over time in stored whole blood compared to conventional NaF tubes.

The BD NaF/NaEDTA Microtainer® blood collection tubes have been designed to be used for the collection, transportation and processing of small amounts of capillary blood. This tube contains Sodium Fluoride and Sodium EDTA intended for the primary containment and preservation of specimens for the purposes of in-vitro diagnostic examination.
