IMPROVACUTER® Citrate Blood Collection Tubes
Manufacturer: Improve Medical
Description
The buffered sodium citrate anticoagulant chelates calcium ions to prevent blood coagulation, preserving coagulation factors for accurate hemostasis testing. The precise 1:9 mixing ratio (1 part citrate to 9 parts blood) ensures optimal anticoagulant concentration for reliable coagulation test results, while the buffering system maintains stable pH throughout specimen storage. The 0.109M (3.2%) concentration is recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) for most coagulation testing applications. The PET construction with blue-colored safety cap provides standardized color coding for citrate tubes and secure specimen containment.
