In modern laboratory diagnostics, conventional blood tubes have long given way to vacuum blood collection tubes, which are part of a three-component system.

The use of modern test tubes makes the work of medical personnel efficient and safe both at the stage of taking blood into vacuum tubes and at the stage of examining samples from the tube in the laboratory. Vacuum tubes guarantee the safety of patients and doctors, with the exception of direct contact with blood.

Vacuum tubes for blood collection contain ready-made chemical additives depending on the type of study and are color-coded according to international standards.

Application area

Research on the coagulation system.

Mechanism of action

The tubes contain a buffered solution of sodium citrate (3.2% or 3.8%), which is used as an anticoagulant for hemostasis studies. Sodium citrate, by binding calcium ions and so on, prevents blood clotting.

Note

The ratio of blood volume to sodium citrate (9:1).
