Serum separation gel: an excellent separator of blood components

To ensure the accuracy of blood test results, the processing and storage methods of blood samples are crucial. Serum separation gel, as an advanced blood separation technology, has the advantages of quickly separating serum and blood clots, protecting biomolecules, maintaining their integrity and activity, being suitable for various blood collection vessels, meeting various detection needs, simplifying related operations, and reducing error risks. It provides an efficient and reliable blood separation method for healthcare.

The use and advantages of serum separation gel

1. Separation of blood components: Serum separation gel can effectively separate serum (or plasma) components from cellular components such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in the blood. This separation method can reduce the interference of impurities such as cell debris, lipids, and fibrin on the detection results.

2. Suitable for various blood collection vessels: Serum separation gel can be applied to various common blood collection vessels, such as red hat tubes, yellow hat tubes, etc. This universality makes it widely used in various detection items.

3. Diversified testing items: Serum separation gel is widely used in various blood testing items, including but not limited to immunological testing, biochemical testing, virological testing, and tumor marker testing. This is due to its excellent separation performance and stable preservation effect.

4. Reducing processing time: Traditional centrifugation methods require longer centrifugation time and higher rotational speeds, while the use of serum separation gel simplifies this process, greatly shortens sample processing time, and improves testing efficiency.

5. Ensuring sample quality: The use of serum separation gel helps to maintain sample integrity and reduce the risk of sample quality decline due to improper handling. In addition, due to its unique separation mechanism, serum separation gel causes less damage to the sample during the separation process, which is beneficial for maintaining the accuracy of detection results.

Blood collection vessels containing serum separation gel

1. Promoter tube: This type of blood collection tube contains a coagulant, which can accelerate blood coagulation and separate the bleeding fluid more quickly. The function of serum separation gel in the coagulant tube is to further accelerate the separation of serum and improve the efficiency of blood detection. This type of blood collection vessel is commonly used for blood testing items such as biochemical indicators, immunological indicators, and coagulation function analysis.

2. Nucleic acid testing tube: In nucleic acid testing, it is necessary to extract the nucleic acid of the virus for subsequent analysis. The function of serum separation gel in nucleic acid detection tubes is to block red blood cells and other impurities, which can avoid the interference of red blood protein in red blood cells in nucleic acid detection experiments and improve the accuracy of the experiment.

3. PRP tube: PRP tube, also known as platelet rich plasma tube, extracts platelets from blood samples through a serum separation gel with a special density. These platelets are rich in bioactive substances such as growth factors and have important applications in cosmetic repair, regenerative medicine, and related treatment projects. By using serum separation gel, platelet rich extraction can be more efficient.

FAQ

How does serum separator gel work?

During centrifugal separation, the serum separator gel enters between the serum component and the clot component to form a partition wall. The partition wall formed by the serum separator gel makes it possible to collect the serum component required for blood tests stably and easily.

What is the composition of serum separator gel?

When the gel composition comprising acrylate, styrene monomer, silicon dioxide and rheology modifier is used for serum separation, it is confirmed that the serum and blood cell components can be separated by centrifugation, but are not damaged by pressure.

What is the purpose of the gel in the SST tube?

Clot activator and gel for serum separator Serum separator tube (SST) contains a gel at the bottom to separate blood cells from serum on centrifugation.

What kind of gel is in the serum separator tube?

SST tubes contain spray-coated silica and a polymer gel for serum separation. They use for serum determinations in chemistry, serology, immunology and HIV tests. Serum separator gel that is located at end of the tube plays the role of a stable chemical and physical barrier between serum and blood clot.

What color tube is serum gel?

Send serum in a plastic transport tube. Mottled red/gray-top, gold-top, or cherry red-top (gel-barrier) tube: Contains clot activator and gel for separating serum from cells, but not anticoagulant. Do not use gel-barrier tubes to submit specimens for therapeutic drug monitoring.
