Greiner – VACUETTE FC Mix tube

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common metabolic disorders in the world. The breakdown of glucose (glycolysis) in venous blood samples is of great significance in pre-analytics, particularly in relation to the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and gestational diabetes. To prevent immediate glycolysis in the event of delay between blood collection and measurement in the lab, test tubes should include a citrate/citric acid buffer as well as sodium fluoride (NaF). 

Highlights:

• Stabilisation immediately after collection for 48 hours
• Based on the in vivo value (almost 100 %)
• Avoids false negative diagnoses of diabetes patients
• Stabilisation allows for longer transport and storage times
