citrate, fluoride-oxalate tube Explanation: See for reference: http://www.irishveterinaryjournal.com/Links/PDFs/CE-Small/CE... HTH :-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2008-11-09 09:24:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ... plus a second source text: http://www.alfred.org.au/Assets/Files/Path_HandBook_14th_Edi... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-11-09 10:24:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yes, you can find different versions, however, the chemical compound should be -> fluoride oxalate, and as a combined adjective related to *tube*, the spelling is -> fluoride-oxalate tube. I prefer this one instead of fluoride/oxalate, as the slash would suggest that there are both variations, fluoride tube or oxalate tube, but I don't think that this is chemically possible. (what is the opinion of our ProZ chemists out there? e.g., -> http://aac.asm.org/cgi/reprint/51/5/1835.pdf -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-11-09 10:31:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- No, sorry, chemically both salts are possible, only the first part (e.g. sodium) is missing. So there are sodium fluoride, sodium oxalate and also sodium citrate ...!? see this German text .... find -> Natriumfluorid -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-11-09 10:31:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- So I would like to change my entry: ... EDTA, citrate, fluoride, oxalate tubes ... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2008-11-09 11:09:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Regarding you second note: Yes, it seems to be like that, fluoride-oxalate tube or fluoride/oxalate tube both mean that the tube contains both sodium fluoride and sodium oxalate --> http://buy.ecplaza.net/trademall/29482/vacuum_blood_collecti... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2008-11-09 11:10:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ... or, to make it really corret: ... *potassium* oxalate! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 hrs (2008-11-10 08:50:40 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Hi, Cristina - I just wondered whether the conclusion was correct: Na / K, as there are also sodium fluoride and *sodium* oxalate. However, especially for the assessment of glucose, lactate, this special combination NaF + K ox is used: http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=18853390 |
