Complying with this order is not only a procedural matter, but a fundamental safety measure to avoid contaminations that could compromise the integrity of the sample.
\nAn incorrect order can significantly affect the haematochemical parameters, reduce the quality of the result and lead to the need to repeat the analysis. The adoption of a standardized practice, on the other hand, increases the reliability of the data obtained and contributes to improving the overall diagnostic efficiency.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\u00bb1″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb background_color=\u00bb#f5f5f5″ custom_padding=\u00bb4px||0px|||\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_row column_structure=\u00bb1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb scroll_fade_enable=\u00bbon\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_2″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb custom_padding=\u00bb0px||||false|false\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_heading title=\u00bbThe Vacumed\u00ae recommended order for accurate results\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb title_text_color=\u00bb#008375″ width=\u00bb89%\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]<\/p>\n

Applying the recommended fill order allows you to obtain more stable samples, prevent analytical interference and ensure consistency of results.<\/p>\n

Here is the correct order to follow:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Blood culture tube or bottle<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Sodium citrate tube<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Serum tubes<\/strong>, including those with clot activator and gels<\/li>\n
  4. Heparin tube<\/strong> with or without gel<\/li>\n
  5. EDTA tube<\/strong> with or without gel separator<\/li>\n
  6. Glycolytic inhibitor<\/strong> tube with potassium fluoride<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This sequence is designed to preserve sample quality throughout the pre-analytical phase, facilitating a safer, more traceable and reliable workflow.<\/p>\n
