VACUUM TUBES LIND-VAC®
VOLUME: 4.5 ml, 9 ml

The Classic PRP Tube with sodium citrate is a 4.5ml contains a separation gel and anticoagulant to ensure the separation of red and white blood cells from the platelet rich plasma.
Range of application: PRP therapy .

• Anticoagulant: trisodium citrate dehydrate, concentration:
0,129 mol/L — 3,80% (38,0 g/L). The ratio of blood to sodium citrate is 9:1.
• The anticoagulant properties of citrate are expressed by citrate ions forming calcium citrate complexes
with Са2+ ions, effectively disrupting the blood clotting mechanism.
• Specimen: citrated plasma.
• Centrifugation conditions: 2000-3500 g for 5 minutes.
• It is very important to maintain the correct blood to anticoagulant ratio for the citrate sample.
• A lack of citrate in the sample leads to microclot formation and/or coagulation of the sample.
• An excess of citrate leads to the distortion of analysis results due to calcium binding.

Immediately after the specimen is collected, gently invert the citrate tube at least 5 times to mix thoroughly, preventing microclot formation.
