The AXITUBE Sodium Fluoride Non-Vacuum Tubes are specifically engineered for blood glucose and lactate determinations. These tubes contain sodium fluoride, a potent glycolytic inhibitor that effectively halts the breakdown of glucose by red blood cells. By preventing glycolysis, our tubes ensure that blood sugar levels remain stable for up to 48 hours at room temperature, providing clinicians with highly accurate diagnostic data. The non-vacuum design allows for manual draw control, making them a versatile choice for a variety of clinical and field-testing environments.
Key Features
-
Inhibits Glycolysis: Contains sodium fluoride (often combined with potassium oxalate) to stabilize glucose levels immediately after collection.
-
Manual Draw Control: The non-vacuum design gives healthcare providers full control over sample volume, reducing the risk of hemolysis in sensitive patients.
-
Industry Standard Coding: Equipped with a Grey Cap for easy identification in high-volume laboratory settings.
-
High-Clarity Polypropylene: Constructed from medical-grade, shatter-proof plastic for safe handling and clear visual inspection of the specimen.
-
Secure Double-Cap Design: Engineered with a leak-proof seal to ensure contamination-free transport and processing.
