Glucose and lactate determination
BD Vacutainer® glucose tubes are available in Sodium Fluoride / Potassium Oxalate, Sodium Fluoride / Sodium EDTA or Sodium Fluoride / Sodium Heparin additive combinations.
Glucose values in unpreserved blood samples decrease quickly after collection as glucose is metabolised by the blood cells. The Fluoride additive stops the enzymatic activity of the glycolytic pathway.
HbA1c determination
One advantage of the Fluoride / EDTA tube over the Fluoride / Oxalate tube is that the marker HbA1c can be determined from the same tube, so no additional tube sample needs to be taken.
Tube mixing
To avoid micro-clotting, mix the BD Vacutainer® Glucose tube with 8-10 inversions immediately after the blood sample has been taken.
