ACD Tubes
A blood collection tube with Acid Citrate Dextrose (ACD) solution is used to collect and stabilize blood samples for various laboratory tests, especially those related to studying cellular components like DNA. The anticoagulant properties of ACD prevent clotting and preserve the integrity of the blood sample for prolonged periods. The ACD solution chelates calcium ions, crucial for coagulation processes in the blood, making it suitable for tests requiring viable cellular components.
Description of ACD Tubes
- Contains the anticoagulant Acid Citrate Dextrose (ACD) solution to prevent clotting.
- Typically has a yellow stopper to signify the presence of ACD.
- Available in various sizes to suit different blood sample volumes.
- Maintains blood in a liquid state for preserving cellular elements.
- Preserves the integrity of the sample for extended durations.
Use of ACD Tubes
- Ideal for collecting blood samples for DNA studies, tissue typing, and certain immune assays.
- Preserves white blood cells for immunophenotyping and flow cytometry analyses.
- Enables studying cellular components and functions without clot interference.
- Suitable for specialized tests requiring viable cellular elements.
- Ensures accurate and reliable test results by maintaining sample quality.
- The ACD blood tube serves as a crucial tool in the pathology lab for collecting blood samples for specialized tests focusing on cellular components, DNA studies, and immune assays. Its anticoagulant properties maintain sample integrity, allowing for precise analysis of viable cellular elements without clotting interference, ensuring accurate and reliable results in various laboratory investigations.
