Combination of serum separation gel and coagulant
1. The function of coagulant
Coagulants can accelerate blood clotting, thereby speeding up the process of serum separation. Common coagulants include powder coagulants and solution coagulants.
2. Applicable testing items
The combination of serum separation gel and coagulant is widely used in the following detection projects:
Liver function testing: such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), etc.
Renal function testing: such as creatinine (CREA), urea nitrogen (BUN), uric acid (UA), etc.
Blood glucose and lipid testing: such as fasting blood glucose (FPG), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), etc.
Electrolyte detection: such as sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), chlorine (Cl -), etc.
Thyroid function testing: free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), etc.
Combination of serum separation gel and anticoagulant
1. The function of anticoagulant
Anticoagulants can prevent blood clotting and are suitable for testing projects that require whole blood samples. Common anticoagulants include:
EDTA dipotassium: a commonly used anticoagulant that can chelate calcium ions in the blood and prevent blood clotting.
EDTA Tripotassium: Similar to EDTA Dipotassium, it is suitable for a wide range of detection items.
Heparin lithium: can inhibit the activity of thrombin and prevent blood clotting.
Heparin sodium: Similar to heparin lithium, but with some differences in testing items.
Sodium citrate: suitable for certain specific hematological tests.
2. Applicable testing items
The combination of serum separation gel and anticoagulant is widely used in the following detection projects:
Blood routine tests: such as white blood cell count (WBC), red blood cell count (RBC), platelet count (PLT), etc.
Coagulation function testing: such as prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), etc.
Immunological testing: such as C-reactive protein (CRP), immunoglobulin (IgG, IgM, IgA), etc.
Biological testing: such as virus marker detection (HBsAg, HCV antibodies, etc.).
Genetic testing: such as gene mutation detection, chromosome analysis, etc.
