Siliconised Glass Tubes

چکیده
Activated partial thromboplastin times (APTT) for monitoring heparin therapy for venous thromboembolism tended to be inappropriately short if blood was collected in commercially available evacuated glass tubes. Five types of evacuated tubes marketed under the trade names Vacutainer and Venoject were examined. The APTT of heparinised blood collected in these tubes correlated poorly (r = 004 to r = 0 25) with that of blood samples from the same patients collected in plastic tubes. Most of the evacuated tube APTT were shorter than that of blood collected in plastic or siliconised glass tubes, but the results were unpredictable and varied from tube to tube and from batch to batch. This effect on heparin is apparently due to an unidentified substance which is eluted from the rubber stoppers of the tubes. Heparin control according to the APTT blood collected in these evacuated tubes is hazardous.

متن کاملSubmicron bioactive glass tubes for bone tissue engineering.
Herein we describe a method to fabricate submicron bioactive glass tubes using sol-gel and coaxial electrospinning techniques for applications in bone tissue engineering. Heavy mineral oil and gel solution were delivered by two independent syringe pumps during the coaxial electrospinning process. Subsequently, submicron bioactive glass tubes were obtained by removal of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) a...
متن کاملThermal inactivation of Listeria innocua in salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) caviar using conventional glass and novel aluminum thermal-death-time tubes.
Differences in the come-up times and thermal inactivation parameters of Listeria innocua in salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) caviar containing 2.5% salt using conventional thermal-death-time (TDT) glass tubes and a novel aluminum tube were tested and compared. Generally, the come-up times and decimal reduction times (D-values) were shorter and the change in temperature required to change the D-value ...
