• Before Use: • Check for expiry date and tube integrity. • Choose the correct volume based on test requirements
• During Collection: • Perform standard venipuncture technique. • Immediately invert the tube 8–10 times gently to mix blood with additives.
• After Collection: • Send the sample to the laboratory within 1–2 hours for best results. • For longer preservation, store at 2–8°C, maintaining glucose stability up to 72 hours.
• Precaution: • Do not shake the tube harshly – it may cause hemolysis. • Use only for biochemical glucose and lactate testing. • Discard if the tube or additive is compromised
• Storage: • Keep in a cool, dry environment, protected from sunlight. • Maintain in original packaging until use.

Note: Overfilling or underfilling may affect test accuracy.
