Do you know how to use serum separation hoses more effectively?

 

Currently, most of the serum separation rubber tubes used in clinical medicine are yellow tubes, which are widely loved by users because they have the advantages of completing machine testing in the same test tube without transferring serum separately, and the serum does not react and change during storage, effectively reducing operating procedures, and improving experimental efficiency. Although the frequency of use is relatively high, some problems may still be exposed during the entire use process, such as inability to use or extract high-quality serum. Therefore, based on this question, the following will focus on explaining it to everyone.

 

1、 Introduction to serum separation gel

In order to use separation gel serum tubes more efficiently, it is necessary to first focus on understanding the substance separation gel. As a highly physiological inert reagent, it has high stability, hydrophobic materials that are insoluble in water, and is resistant to high temperature radiation, with a high specific gravity. It is precisely this series of key properties that make it difficult for the separation gel to flip during the centrifugation process, thereby giving full play to the separation effect.

 

2、 How to efficiently separate?

1. First of all, the collected test tube should be slowly inverted up and down for about 6 times, so that the blood can fully contact the reagents on the tube wall, such as coagulants. If it is not thoroughly mixed upside down, it will affect the blood coagulation time and the quality of the extracted serum, and the centrifugation effect is also poor.

 

2. After collecting blood samples, they cannot be centrifuged immediately. Instead, they should be placed for more than half an hour and centrifuged after the serum is fully analyzed.

 

3. The clotting time of blood is closely related to temperature, especially when it is placed and stored in relatively cold environments. Storage is indeed required, and it is recommended to conduct it in a 25 degree environment. If the ambient temperature continues to fail to meet the requirements, the storage time of blood samples can be appropriately extended.

 

4. In the separation rubber tube, the flippability directly determines the separation effect, so the requirements are very strict during the entire centrifugal process. The specific operation must be carried out in accordance with the instructions made by the seller, especially in the control of rotational speed and time, which requires special attention.

 

Each manufacturer produces serum separation rubber tubes with different technical requirements, which means that their operation must be carried out in accordance with the use standards to ensure efficient use and achieve ideal separation results. Desheng is a professional manufacturer of serum separation gel. It strictly controls the performance indicators of the separation gel, and professional personnel provide answers to relevant operating instructions, providing satisfactory products and services to the public.
