Effectiveness of NaF Vials for Estimation of Glucose in NABL Accrediated Laboratory of a Tertiary Care Hospital
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Comparison of glucose level in NaF vacutainer and serum separator vacutainer. The study was conducted at Biochemistry Department of Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences, Dehradun, Uttarakhand. Total 386 random cases were selected for the study. Glucose levels were measured by the Hexokinase method using a Unicel DXC800 Chemistry analyser (Beckman Coulter India (Pvt.) Ltd.). “Paired t- test” was used for analysis. No significant difference of glucose values were seen amongst the two vacutainers, whereas a significant decrease in glucose levels with time was observed in both the vacutainers statistically. Serum separator vacutainers can be used in place of NaF vacutainers to estimate glucose in the clinical laboratories.
