Comparison of Coagulation Parameters in Greiner VACUETTE<sup>®</sup> 1ml 9NC Coagulation Sodium Citrate Premium Sandwich Tube and Minicollect<sup>®</sup> Coagulation Tube
30 May 2017This application note aims to provide a comparison of VACUETTE® 9NC Coagulation sodium citrate Premium sandwich tubes and MiniCollect® Coagulation tube to demonstrate the equivalence of the tested tubes. Venous blood with sodium citrate is the most commonly obtained examination sample for coagulation determinations. However, blood collected by skin puncture, is composed of a mixture of blood from the arterioles, venoles and capillaries, it may also be diluted with interstitial and intracellular fluid. Therefore, falsified test results can occur when using capillary blood due to tissue fluid contamination during skin-puncture procedures. The data showed equal results with no statistically significant differences between the two tubes.

Screening is essential to avoid transfusion reactions. Blood banks use immunohematological techniques to determine rh and ABO blood group, and screen for antibodies using specific antisera. Blood Banks use Direct Coombs Tests (DCT) and Indirect Coombs Tests (IAT) to detect hemolysis and Haemolytic Disease of the Newborn (HDN).HematologyIn Haematology / Hematology, complete blood cell counts (or full blood counts) are obtained using automated blood count analyzers to enumerate blood cell types. Hematology also encompasses haemostasis and coagulation, thrombophilia and hemophilia, plasma viscosity and ESR analysis, hemoglobinopathies, cell morphology and haematinic measurement.Point-of-CarePoint-of-Care Testing (POCT) or Near Patient Testing (NPT) products are available for urine, blood and other clinical chemistry analyses. POCT includes: blood glucose testing, blood gas and electrolytes analysis, rapid coagulation testing (PT / INR), rapid cardiac markers diagnostics, drugs of abuse screening, urine strips testing, pregnancy testing, fecal occult blood analysis, food pathogens screening, hemoglobin diagnostics, infectious disease testing and cholesterol screening.Contamination PreventionContamination prevention aims to control and minimize the risk of contamination during experiments. Biological safety cabinets and sterilization equipment are examples of technologies used to prevent contamination.Sample StoragePreserving clinical trial samples to the highest standards is a critical component in maximizing the value of present day and future clinical research. Specialized storage and transportation of these tissue, blood and serum samples reduces the risk of them being damaged or lost.Coagulation
