Fluoride Tubes

Fluoride Tubes are specially designed blood collection tubes used for glucose estimation and blood sugar analysis. These tubes contain Sodium Fluoride as a glycolysis inhibitor and Potassium Oxalate as an anticoagulant, which prevents the breakdown of glucose in the collected blood sample, ensuring accurate test results.

Key Features

• Contains Sodium Fluoride to stop glycolysis and preserve glucose levels.
• Includes Potassium Oxalate anticoagulant to prevent clotting.
• Ensures stable and reliable glucose measurement even after delayed processing.
• Sterile, leak-proof design for safe sample handling.
• Grey cap color-coded for easy laboratory identification.

Applications

• Blood Glucose Testing (Fasting / Postprandial)
• Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT)
• Diabetes Monitoring
• Lactate Testing (in specific protocols)

Advantages

• Prevents false low glucose values by stabilizing the sample.
• Maintains sample integrity during transport and storage.
• Suitable for use in automated biochemistry analysers.
• Provides accurate and reproducible diagnostic results.

Fluoride Tubes are essential for diabetes diagnostics and routine clinical biochemistry testing in hospitals and laboratories.
