Vacucare fluoride oxalate Grey Top Tubes 4ml, 100/Pack

Vacutainer Fluoride Oxalate Tubes (grey tops) are used to collect blood for accurate glucose and lactate testing, preventing sugar breakdown by inhibiting glycolysis with sodium fluoride and trapping the sample with potassium oxalate, preserving the sample for analysis in labs, especially when immediate testing isn’t possible.

Key Uses:
Vacucare Grey Top Tubes 4ml
Blood Glucose Testing: The primary use is for blood sugar (glucose) measurement, ensuring levels don’t falsely drop as red blood cells consume glucose after collection.
Lactate Determination: Also used for lactate level analysis, where preventing glycolysis is crucial for accurate results.
How They Work:
Sodium Fluoride (NaF): Acts as an antiglycolytic agent, stopping red blood cells from metabolizing glucose.
Potassium Oxalate (K₂C₂O₄): Acts as an anticoagulant, preventing blood clotting.
Benefits:
Accuracy: Ensures stable glucose and lactate levels, providing reliable results for diagnosing diabetes, monitoring blood sugar, and assessing metabolic issues.
Delayed Testing: Allows samples to be transported and analyzed later without compromising accuracy, unlike standard tubes where glucose levels drop quickly.
