Device for carrying blood samples at 37°C for cryoglobulin test.
نویسندگان
چکیده
To reliably transport blood samples for cryoglobulin analysis, we have created a sample transport device containing a mixture of two waxes that solidifies at 38°C and maintains sample temperature at 38°C. Samples arriving at the laboratory at 37 to 38°C increased to 95% from 34% with the use of the device.

Detection of cryoglobulins in serum of Caspian miniature horse
Blood samples were collected from 20 healthy miniature Caspian horses at 37 °C. Isolation of cryoglobulin was performed based on a standard method in present study. Harvested sera were kept at 4 °C for two hours and then examined for cryoglubolin. Four serum samples containing precipitate Suspicious of containing cryoglobulin were selected. Subsequently serum protein electrophoresis was perform...
متن کاملCryoglobulin Test and Cryoglobulinemia Hepatitis C-Virus Related
Cryoglobulins are immunoglobulins that precipitate in serum at temperatures below 37°C and resolubilize upon warming. The clinical syndrome of cryoglobulinemia usually includes purpura, weakness, and arthralgia, but the underlying disease may also contribute other symptoms. Blood samples for cryoglobulin are collected, transported, clotted and spun at 37°C, before the precipitate is allowed to ...
متن کاملQuantitative reverse transcription-PCR comparison of tumor cell enrichment methods.
platelet plots are not always seen in cryoglobulinemia, although other interferences are usually detected with high efficiency. For comparison, whereas the Technicon H*3 appeared to provide a more immediate visual indication of sample cryoglobulins, large platelet count overestimates were still obtained in most cases. Examination of graphic plots is not used in all laboratories, and its efficie...
متن کاملEssential mixed cryoglobulinaemia with false-positive serological tests for syphilis.
Analysis of serum from a patient with cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis showed a mixed cryoglobulin with a monoclonal IgM kappa-antiglobulin component (6.5 mg/ml), strong rheumatoid factor activity (latex titre 1/5000), and positive serological tests for syphilis (fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorbed and Treponema pallidum haemagglutination assay). After removal of antiglobulin activity...
متن کاملLaboratory identification of cryoglobulinemia from automated blood cell counts, fresh blood samples, and blood films.
Four cases showing different means to detect cryoglobulins are reported: effects on blood cell counts performed on 2 technologically different automated hematology instruments and microscopic features in fresh blood samples and on May-Grünwald-Giemsa-stained bloodfilms. These cases were chosen for their instructive value in depicting all artifacts associated with cryoglobulins. Laboratory recog...
