In the field of medical laboratory testing, the use of blood sampling additives is a key link in ensuring the quality of blood samples and data accuracy. The purpose of these additives is to maintain the stability of blood samples and ensure that no deterioration or data loss occurs during transportation and storage. This article will delve into the types, functions, and future development trends of blood collection additives.

Types and functions of blood collection additives

Blood sampling additives are mainly divided into blood anticoagulants, blood coagulants, adjuvants, etc. The following will explain these three categories separately.

Additives for blood collection

Blood anticoagulant

Anticoagulants are one of the most important additives in blood collection, and their main function is to prevent blood clotting. Commonly used anticoagulants include heparin sodium, heparin lithium, EDTA dipotassium, EDTA tripotassium, EDTA disodium, and sodium citrate. Heparin anticoagulants are suitable for prothrombin assay, platelet count, and red blood cell fragility testing; EDTA anticoagulants are suitable for whole blood cell counting and classification, etc; Sodium citrate anticoagulants are suitable for measuring erythrocyte sedimentation rate and hematocrit.

Blood coagulant

Coagulants are mainly used for rapid blood coagulation, suitable for emergency serum biochemistry, rapid outpatient services, etc., solving problems such as coagulation rupture, hemolysis, and fibrinogen precipitation of blood cells.

Auxiliary agent

The main auxiliary agents are silicification agents and serum separation gels. For example, although serum separation gels do not have anticoagulant and procoagulant abilities, they can be well combined with coagulants, EDTA, and heparin to separate serum or plasma, ensuring the accuracy of the test sample. Silicified agents are used on pipes, which can help smooth the pipe wall and prevent blood from sticking to the wall.

In addition to the above additives for collecting blood vessels, there are also free DNA preservation solutions suitable for use in DNA preservation tubes, which protect the stability and non degradation of free DNA. Calcium balanced heparin lithium accurately tests blood gas, free calcium ions, and pH to ensure the accuracy of the test results.

Additives for blood collection correspond to different blood collection vessels

Blood sampling additives are a key factor in ensuring the quality and accuracy of blood samples. Understanding the types, functions, and specific applications of these additives in which tubes can help improve the efficiency and accuracy of medical testing. Hubei Xindesheng Material Technology Co., Ltd. looks forward to achieving greater breakthroughs in the technology of blood vessel additives and making efforts to provide higher quality, more stable, and safer guarantees for the medical laboratory field.

Although blood sampling additives play a crucial role in maintaining the quality and stability of blood samples, we still need to pay attention to the standardization and use of additives. Establish a unified standard for the use of additives and a quality supervision system to ensure comparability of data between different laboratories. By monitoring and adjusting the status of blood samples in real-time, achieve optimal preservation results. The application of these innovative technologies will open a new chapter in the development of blood collection additive technology.
