Abstract

Objective: Blood collection tubes with a clot activator are widely used in clinical laboratories. Unexpectedly high results in folate assays obtained on Siemens Advia Centaur XP analyzer triggered a need for an investigation of the effects of blood collection tubes on folate measurements. Material and Methods: We investigated the potential assay interference of three types of plastic tubes with a clot activator; Vacutest REF11030 (Group A); Becton Dickinson (BD) Vacutainer CAT REF367896 (Group B);and BD Vacutainer SSTTM II Advance REF367953 (with gel) (Group C) tubes. Blood samples from apparently healthy 13 volunteers were drawn into these different tube types and serum folate concentrations were analyzed by Siemens Advia Centaur XP, Roche E-170, and Beckmann UniCel DxI800 immunoassay analyzers. The results were compared and p values

Özet

Amaç: Pıhtı aktivatörlü kan alma tüpleri klinik laboratuvarlarda yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Siemens Advia Centaur XP cihazındaki sıra dışı yüksek folat sonuçları kan alma tüplerinin folat ölçümleri üzerine etkisini araştırmamıza sebep oldu. Gereç ve Yöntem: Pıhtı aktivatörlü üç plastik tüp tipi, potansiyel ölçüm interferansı açısından değerlendirildi; Vacutest REF11030 (Grup A), Becton Dickinson (BD) Vacutainer CAT REF367896 (Grup B) ve BD Vacutainer SSTTM II Advance REF367953 (jelli) (Grup C). Görünürde sağlıklı 13 bireyden farklı tüplere alınan kanlarda serum folat konsantrasyonları Siemens Advia Centaur XP, Roche E-170 ve Beckmann Unicell DXI800 cihazlarında ölçüldü ve sonuçlar karşılaştırıldı. İstatistiksel olarak p
