DESCRIPTION
Trace Element tubes elements exist in different forms in nature. Elements found in humans are important for the function of our body. Trace elements are very important for the functions of cells. It is called a trace or trace in which the ratio of these substances in our body is small. The most effective method that will give you a clear result as a result of a disease that may occur is undoubtedly blood tests. Depending on the disease in your body, your doctor can give you blood tubes of different colors for blood testing. Trace element tubes are one of these tubes and have a navy blue cap.
Trace element tubes are used in blood tests taken intravenously. Thanks to these tests, the appropriate treatment method is determined by detecting the missing elements in your body. Vitamins and minarets used without doctor’s advice can be detected through trace element tests.
What Are The Properties Of Trace Element Tubes?
Trace element tubes are vacuum and disposable tubes. It is used during blood intake. It can be produced in different volumes and sizes upon request. There are three different varieties. The first of these is the clot activator. The material used is pet. The Second Is K2edta. The last type is sodium heparin. The material used is glass.
Trace element tubes are designed to contain no contaminated metal elements. It is mainly used in trace element detection and toxicology testing.
How To Prepare A Sample For The Measurement Of Trace Elements?
- 13 * 100 tubes with a dark blue cover should be filled with a blood sample to be 6 Ml.
- After the tube is filled, it should not be shaken. Instead, it should be turned over 5-6 times slowly.
- After this procedure, it should be expected that the blood contained in the tube will clot spontaneously. This time should be at least 30 minutes, no more than 2 hours.
- The tube should then be centrifuged at 1500xg for 10 minutes.
- The serum that will remain on top is transferred to a new tube, which has been prepared by the nurse before and where the patient’s information is written.
- In these measurements, the separator tube and gelled tubes should not be used.
How Is The Vacuum Blood Collection System?
In the past, vacuum blood collection systems were made through glass tubes. This caused difficulties in blood storage processes. The tubes used were not disposable, and these tubes were washed, sterilized and reused. Accidents such as tube breakage that may occur after blood collection were at risk for both the patient and the person who administered it.
Disposable PET tubes were manufactured to minimize the risks that may occur in glass tubes. Later, vacuum pet tubes began to be used to prevent errors that may occur in blood results. Currently, vacuum tubes, butterfly needles, needle tips and holders for intravenous blood collection are available in the health sector as disposable. In this way, the blood taken from the patient reaches the laboratory safely and is extracted smoothly.
