K3 edta coated tubes

Manufactured by Greiner
Sourced in Austria, United States

K3-EDTA-coated tubes are laboratory equipment used for the collection and storage of blood samples. The tubes contain the anticoagulant K3-EDTA, which prevents the blood from clotting during the collection and analysis process.

Tumor Monitoring via Blood and Urine

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood samples were collected from the submandibular vein once a week and 2 days after each MC injection for the mice with subcutaneous Hela tumor. Next, 100–200 µL blood was collected in K3-EDTA-coated tubes (Greiner, Kremsmünster, Austria), kept on ice, and centrifuged at 1000 g for 10 min at 4 °C. After tumor implantation, mice with subcutaneous tumors were kept in metabolic cages 8 h per day for 5 weeks. Urine samples from each mouse were collected and spun down at 1000 g for 10 min. Samples collected within the same week were pooled and extracted for analysis. Both blood and urine samples were stored at −80 °C prior to RNA isolation.

Lipid Profile and DNA Extraction from Diabetic Patients

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three ml venous blood was collected from diabetic and ethnically matched non-diabetic individuals in K3EDTA coated tubes (Greiner Bio-One, North America Inc., North Carolina, USA). Plasma was separated and stored at -20°C for lipid profile estimation. FBS, total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) was analyzed using a commercial kit (Reckon Diagnostics P. Ltd, Vadodara, India). Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) was calculated using Friedewald’s (1972) formula. DNA was extracted from the whole blood using a QIAamp DNA Blood Mini Kit (Qiagen, Germany). The DNA content and purity were determined spectrophotometrically by 260/280 ratio. The integrity of DNA was checked electrophoretically using 0.8% agarose gel. The DNA was stored at -20°C until further analysis.

Quantitative Analysis of Lu AF64386

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The total concentration of Lu AF64386 was determined in the plasma. Trunk blood was collected from saline and PCP pretreated rats approx. 1 week after the last experimental day 40 minutes after s.c. administration of 2.5 mg/kg Lu AF64386.
Samples were collected in K3-EDTA-coated tubes (Greiner Bio-One, Kremsmünster, Austria) and centrifuged at 3300 x G for 10 minutes at 4°C. Samples were kept at -80°C until bioanalysis. Plasma samples were precipitated with acetonitrile containing a generic internal standard (Lu AE90074). Quantitative analysis was performed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography (Acquity UPLC system; Waters, Milford, MA) followed by tandem mass spectrometry detection (Waters Xevo TQS mass spectrometer; Waters, Milford, MA) using a positive-ion electrospray ionization mode. The lower limit of concentration was 1 ng/ml.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
