1

Serum Extraction from Jugular Vein

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood was collected from the jugular vein and transferred to a Vacuette tube with Z serum clot activator (Greiner Bio-One). Shortly after blood collection, tubes were centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 20 minutes. The resulting serum, approximately 4 ml, was aliquoted in labeled Eppendorf tubes and stored at -20°C until analysis.

Platelet-rich Plasma Isolation Protocol

Venous blood was drawn into vacutainers containing 3.8% trisodium citrate or silica microparticles (Z serum clot activator, Greiner Bio-One, Kremsmünster, Austria). Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was obtained from the whole citrated blood by centrifugation at 200× g, 10 min, and 23 °C. Platelet-poor plasma (PPP) was obtained from PRP by centrifugation at 1500× g for 5 min; it was aliquoted and stored at −20 °C until use. The frozen samples of PPP were thawed at 37 °C for 60 min and used within 2 h. A portion of each citrated blood sample was used for standard immunological, hematological, and biochemical tests.

Human Serum Biobank Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Individual human serum from 10 anonymous healthy donors was provided by Sanquin Research, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Plasma samples were obtained after informed consent and in accordance to the ethics board of Sanquin. The whole blood from each individual was collected in a 9-ml Vacuette tube (Greiner Bio-One, Kremsmunster, Austria) containing Z Serum Clot Activator. The whole blood was then left undistributed at room temperature for 30–60 min. The clotted material was removed by centrifugation at 1800 × g for 20 min at room temperature and the sera were transferred as 1 ml aliquots to clean 1.5 ml Eppendorf tubes, snap froze in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80 °C. Human serum samples from 10 septic patients were acquired from Discovery Life Science, Columbus, OH, USA. All serum samples were stored at −80 °C until analysis.

Blood Serum Collection and Storage

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
200 ml of blood was sampled from each donor in Vacuette ® tubes of 4 mL, containing Z Serum Clot Activator (Greiner bio-one). Every tube was gently tilted up and down ten times as soon as it was filled with blood to ensure thorough mixing with the coagulation factor. The tubes were kept at room temperature until full coagulation (30 min).
Then, tubes were centrifuged at 3000 g for 10 min, and the serum was transferred to cryotubes and stored at -20 °C.

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.
