Recently we introduced heparin gel tubes. So far without any problems in our analysers. However we have been warned that high (?) ambient temperature might prevent complete sedimentation of the gel.

Betreff: SST tubes
Does anyone use SST tubes for primary tube sampling on their routine
biochemistry analyser? We do and have been having lots of problems with the
gel getting into the lines and ending up in the flow cell of our Beckman
CX7 analysers. It gets a bit serious when it happens twice in one week. The
problem is compounded by a high number of ICU and renal patients on
anticoagulant therapy whose specimens from time to time form fibrin clots
even after a 10 minute centrifugation. If this sounds familiar to anyone,
I'd like to hear from you.
Thanks,
