FH Sodium Fluoride / Sodium Heparin
VACUETTE® glucose tubes contain sodium fluoride as a glycolysis inhibitor. The anticoagulants K3EDTA, potassium oxalate or sodium heparin prevent the blood from clotting. The citrate/citric acid buffer reduces the pH value in the sample immediately after blood collection leading to an instant stabilization of glucose. Depending on the test system, VACUETTE® glucose tubes can also be used for lactate assays, with in most cases sodium fluoride being used in combination with potassium oxalate.

GBO tubes should be stored at 4-25°'C (39-77°F).
VACUETTE® Tubes are irradiated to achieve sterility. These tubes are sterile on the interior only. We cannot recommend re-sterilizing the tubes, primarily due to pressure changes that take place during the re-sterilization cycle. Our tubes are under a specific negative pressure. During the re-sterilization cycle this negative pressure may be disrupted and therefore the tubes may not draw the proper blood volume.
No, GBO does not claim that any of the tubes are endotoxin free.
