Physiologically Inert PRP Gel Serum Separatior Gel Platelet - Rich Plasma Separation

In modern medical testing and biological science research, serum separation gel tubes have become an indispensable part of many laboratories. It can not only shorten the clotting time of blood samples, but also provide high-quality serum samples, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of experimental operations. This article will delve into the working principle and correct usage of serum separation gel coagulation tubes.

Understand the serum separation gel coagulation tube

Serum separation gel procoagulant tube is a specially designed vacuum blood collection tube, with serum separation gel and procoagulant pre added inside. When blood is drawn into this tube, coagulants quickly react with the components in the blood, promoting rapid coagulation of the blood, while serum separation gel forms a barrier during the coagulation process, separating blood cells from serum. This feature makes separating serum from blood simpler and more efficient, while reducing the impact of human factors on the results.

The importance of using serum separation gel procoagulant tubes correctly

The correct use of serum separation gel coagulation tubes is crucial for obtaining accurate and reliable experimental results. Firstly, avoiding unnecessary shaking is crucial. Although shaking may appear to accelerate mixing, in reality, excessive or improper shaking may cause damage to blood cells, thereby affecting the quality of experimental data. Blood cells are very fragile, especially white blood cells and platelets, whose proportions in whole blood are extremely low (about 0.1-0.2% and 0.5-1%, respectively), but they are crucial components for many testing projects. Therefore, extra caution is required when handling such samples.

How to properly mix the serum separation gel with a coagulation promoting tube?

Since we know that shaking is not a wise move, what is the correct approach? The answer is to gently invert the blood collection tube 5 to 8 times. This can ensure that the coagulant is in full contact with the blood and evenly distributed, without causing damage to blood cells. The flipping motion should be gentle and regular, ensuring that each flip allows for sufficient contact between the blood and the coagulant. Through this method, we can rapidly coagulate blood without damaging the structure of blood cells, preparing for subsequent serum separation.
