INQUIRE
ABOUT THESE PRODUCTS
Many
non-routine tests and applications which require the collection of
blood or other body fluids,
also
require the use of special anti-coagulant or proteinase inhibitor
cocktails to preserve the integrity of
the
sample. Good examples of such tests include the measurements of
Fibrinopeptide-A (FPA),
Prothrombin
Fragment 1•2 (F1•2), Fibrinogen Degradation Products (FDP) and
the Thrombin/Antithrombin
III
complex (TAT), all of which are highly influenced by persistent
protease activity in blood or plasma
samples
(1-8). The SCAT series of collection tubes (Sample
Collection/Anticoagulant Tubes) were
developed
specifically to minimize in vitro artifact by rapidly
quenching unwanted protease activity.
SCAT
tubes are carefully formulated to yield a reproducible
concentration of inhibitors with rapid
dissolution
properties. The tubes are evacuated and stoppered under controlled
conditions so that the
tubes
will automatically fill to the proper volume.
Other/Custom
Blood Collection Tubes
We will custom manufacture tubes to your specifications. Please call 802-878-1777 to discuss your content requirements.
SPECIAL
PRECAUTIONS
Although
the SCAT tubes may resemble a standard phlebotomy blood collection tube,
it should be noted that
these
tubes are NOT STERILE, and therefore should not be used as a
standard blood collection tube.
Instead,
it is recommended that the technique used to collect
the sample (whether it be blood
or
another fluid sample), be direct collection
into the SCAT tube through a catheter
of at least five inches, and equipped with a multi-sample luer
adapter (MSLA) to eliminate the possibility of a back-flush from the non-sterile
tube to the patient.
