Pro-Coagulation Tube Type PET Or Glass Material Sterilized Vacuum Blood Collection Tube

The blood collection tubes are primarily used in the clinical laboratory department of a hospital. This department is responsible for collecting, processing, and analyzing patients' blood samples for various diagnostic and monitoring tests. The clinical laboratory department is also known as the clinical laboratory, medical laboratory, or pathology laboratory. It is an integral part of a hospital and provides essential laboratory results to assist physicians in diagnosis and treatment decisions.

The blood collection tubes typically consist of the following main components:

• Vacuum Container: Blood collection tubes are usually vacuum containers, with a certain degree of negative pressure inside to facilitate the flow of blood into the tube during sample collection.
• Tube Coating: To prevent interaction between the blood sample and the tube wall, the inner wall of the blood collection tube is often coated to reduce sample loss or interference.
• Anticoagulant: Some blood collection tubes contain anticoagulants to prevent blood coagulation. Common anticoagulants include ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), heparin, citrates, and plasma coagulation inhibitors.
• Additive: In addition to anticoagulants, some blood collection tubes also contain other additives for specific laboratory tests. For example, certain blood collection tubes contain anti-coagulation inhibitors for blood typing.

Pro-coagulation tubes, also known as clot activator tubes or serum tubes, are a type of blood collection tube that promotes blood clotting. These tubes do not contain anticoagulants or additives that inhibit coagulation. Instead, they are designed to allow blood to naturally clot after collection.

The function of pro-coagulation tubes is to obtain serum samples for various laboratory tests. When the blood is collected into a pro-coagulation tube, the tube's interior surface activates the coagulation process. As a result, the blood clots and forms a solid gel-like structure. After the blood has clotted, the tube is centrifuged to separate the serum from the clotted cells.

The separated serum can then be used for diagnostic tests that require the analysis of serum components such as enzymes, proteins, electrolytes, hormones, or other substances. Common tests performed on serum samples include liver function tests, kidney function tests, lipid profile, hormonal assays, and many others.

Pro-coagulation tubes are often distinguishable by their red or gold-colored stoppers or caps. The red-top tubes usually indicate the absence of additives, while the gold-top tubes may contain a gel separator to facilitate the separation of serum during centrifugation.

It's important to note that pro-coagulation tubes should be used specifically for tests that require serum samples. For tests that require plasma, anticoagulant-containing tubes should be used instead.

1. Clot Activator:
- The primary feature of a pro-coagulation tube is the presence of a clot activator. This substance initiates the coagulation cascade, leading to the formation of blood clots.

2. Blood Collection:
- Pro-coagulation tubes are used for collecting blood samples that need to undergo clotting for various laboratory tests.

3. Serum Separation:
- After the blood is collected in a pro-coagulation tube and allowed to clot, the tube is centrifuged. This process separates the clotted blood into serum and clot components.

4. Serum Testing:
- The resulting serum is then used for various diagnostic tests, such as chemistry and serology tests.

5. No Anticoagulant:
- Unlike tubes with anticoagulants, pro-coagulation tubes do not contain substances that prevent blood clotting. This is important for tests that require serum instead of plasma.

6. Commonly Used in Chemistry Testing:
- Pro-coagulation tubes are often used in clinical chemistry testing where serum is required for analyzing various components of the blood.

7. Color Coding:
- Pro-coagulation tubes are typically color-coded to differentiate them from tubes with different additives, making it easier for healthcare professionals to select the right tube for specific tests.

8. Quick Clotting:
- The clot activator in the tube facilitates a rapid clotting process, allowing for efficient serum separation.

The inner wall of the blood collection tube is uniformly sprayed with coagulant, when the blood sample coming into the tube, which is fully contacted with coagulant, thereby achieving complete coagulation of the blood in a short time, and high-quality serum can be obtained by centrifugation, which can solve the problem of coagulation, hemolysis and coagulation for blood cells.

It can be used to collect and reserve blood specimens in medical tests for biochemistry and immunology

Feature:

Pro-coagulation tubes contain a coagulant that accelerates blood clotting and shortens turnaround time for clinical chemistry, immunology, therapeutic drug monitoring and other assays. Coagulant tubes are used for the collection and loading of blood specimens for biochemistry in medical testing.
