ESR Vacuum Blood Collection Tube with ESR Analyzers Applicable For Inflammatory Disease Monitoring.
Orsin Medical Technology ESR Blood Collection Tubes
Orsin Medical Technology presents its high-precision Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Blood Collection Tubes, The black-top tube employs a 0.129mol/L sodium citrate buffer system to anticoagulate blood specimens. Applicable for: inflammatory disease monitoring. Advantages: unique value compared to modern inflammatory markers.
These vacuum-evacuated tubes are specifically designed for the precise measurement of the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate, a critical marker for detecting and monitoring inflammatory activity, infections, and chronic diseases.
Product Highlights: Technological Innovation Ensures Accuracy
ESR tubes incorporate advanced engineering to deliver superior clinical performance:
| Feature Category | Technical Specification | Clinical Value |
|---|---|---|
| Contamination Prevention | Closed vacuum system; direct blood transfer to anticoagulant tube | Eliminates operator exposure; reduces lab contamination; complies with biosafety standards |
| Operational Efficiency | Distinctive black cap; pre-measured anticoagulant; ready-to-use | Streamlines workflow; reduces sampling errors |
| Result Precision | 0.129mol/ L(anticoagulant:blood=1:4); concentration-controlled | Ensures consistent anticoagulation; prevents ESR deviations |
| System Compatibility | Compatible with major automated ESR analyzers (e.g., ESR-30/40); LIS/HIS integration | Unique value compared to modern inflammatory markers,reduces transcription errors |
| Interference Resistance | Specialized anticoagulant minimizes effects of icteric/hemolyzed/lipemic samples | Expands detectable sample range; improves reliability in pathological states |
Usage Precautions: Standardized Operations Ensure Reliability
3.1 Pre-collection Preparation
-
Tube Selection: Verify black-capped ESR-specific tubes contain 3.8% sodium citrate. Inspect for particulates, sedimentation, or cap looseness.
-
Storage Conditions: Store at 4-25°C. Avoid freezing (causes tube fracture) or high temperatures (degrades anticoagulant).
-
Patient Preparation: Collect blood from calm, preferably fasting patients. Note non-fasting status on requisition forms.
3.2 Blood Collection Protocol
-
Order of Draw: Follow international sequence: blood culture → coagulation tubes → other anticoagulant tubes → ESR tubes (black cap). Prevents anticoagulant cross-contamination.
-
Exact Fill Volume: Draw precisely to fill line (typically 2mL). Underfilling causes false-low ESR; overfilling promotes microclot formation.
-
Mixing Technique: Gently invert 5-10 times immediately after collection. Avoid vigorous shaking to prevent partial anticoagulation or hemolysis.
3.3 Post-collection Handling
-
Testing Timeline: Analyze within 2 hours. Delayed testing alters erythrocyte morphology. Store at 18-25°C if necessary (NEVER refrigerate).
-
Tube Orientation: Transport upright to avoid disturbing sedimentation.
-
Sample Rejection Criteria: Reject clotted, severely hemolyzed, improperly filled (>±10%), unlabeled, or damaged specimens.
*Note: 30% of ESR errors originate from pre-analytical issues, primarily inaccurate fill volumes and improper mixing.*
