Polymer Separating Gel Blood Collection Tube Additives Serum Separation For Vacuum Or Non Vacuum

Serum separation gel is a widely used biomaterial in biomedical research and clinical applications. Due to its unique physical properties such as precise specific gravity, high viscosity, radiation resistance, and good biocompatibility, it is used to separate plasma and blood cells and is a pre-processing step in many clinical tests and experiments. The quality of serum separation gel is directly related to the accuracy and operability of experimental results, among which viscosity is an important indicator to measure its performance. The following will carefully introduce the method of using a rotational viscometer to measure the dynamic viscosity of serum separation gel.

Dynamic viscosity measured by a rotational viscometer

1. Instruments and equipment: When testing the viscosity of serum separation gel, we usually use a rotational viscometer. This is a common laboratory instrument that measures the viscosity of colloids by rotating a cylinder or sphere.

2. Preparation of samples: Before conducting viscosity testing, first prepare a sample of serum separation gel to ensure that the sample is in a uniform state without bubbles or particles.

3. Adjust the rotational viscometer: According to the instructions for use of the instrument, adjust the parameters of the rotational viscometer, including time, speed, etc., to ensure that the instrument is in normal working condition.

4. Measure dynamic viscosity: Place the prepared serum separation gel sample into the testing slot of the viscometer, start the instrument and rotate it. By measuring the resistance of the colloid to rotation during the rotation process, the dynamic viscosity of the serum separation gel is calculated. To ensure measurement accuracy, each sample should be measured at least three times and the average value should be taken.

5. Recording data: During the testing process, real-time recording of dynamic viscosity changes can be obtained through the instrument's display screen or computer software to obtain viscosity curves.

6. Analysis results: Based on the obtained data, analyze the viscosity curve and observe the viscosity changes of serum separation gel under different conditions to evaluate its applicability in the experiment.

Result analysis

By using a rotational viscometer to process the measured dynamic viscosity values, the relationship between serum separation gel concentration and viscosity can be obtained. As the serum separation gel concentration increases, the dynamic viscosity value also gradually increases, indicating a certain positive correlation between the viscosity of serum separation gel and its concentration.

By comparing the dynamic viscosity values of serum separation gels with different concentrations, we can find that as the concentration increases, the dynamic viscosity values show a significant upward trend, indicating that high concentrations of serum separation gels have higher viscosity, which is related to their physical properties of increased molecular weight and enhanced interaction forces.

In addition, by observing the dynamic viscosity values of serum separation gels of different concentrations, the relationship between them and temperature can also be discovered. Within a certain range, as the temperature increases, the dynamic viscosity value of serum separation gel will decrease, which may be related to the enhanced thermal motion and weakened interaction force of serum separation gel molecules at high temperatures. Therefore, in practical applications, suitable serum separation gels should be selected according to experimental requirements.

The significance and application of viscosity testing

1. Quality control: By conducting viscosity testing on serum separation gel, effective control of product quality can be achieved to ensure its stable performance.

2. Process optimization: In production, testing the viscosity of serum separation gel under different batches and conditions can help optimize the production process and improve product consistency.

3. Reliability of experimental results: Knowing the performance of serum separation gel under different viscosity conditions helps researchers to design and conduct experiments more accurately, improving the reliability of experimental results.
