Vacucare Grey Top Tubes 4ml

Vacucare Grey Top Tubes 4ml 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
