Thin hematocrit capillaries

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Visit Supplier

Thin hematocrit capillaries are laboratory equipment used to measure the volume percentage of red blood cells in whole blood. They are narrow, glass tubes designed to draw in blood samples through capillary action. The capillaries are then centrifuged to separate the blood components, allowing the hematocrit level to be determined.

Plasma was collected in a stress-free environment by rapid non-terminal retro-orbital blood draw using thin hematocrit capillaries (Fisher Scientific). Aldosterone levels were determined on heparinized plasma (pre-diluted 2.5 times in PBS + 0.1% BSA) using an aldosterone I125 radioimmunoassay according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Tecan). Plasma renin activity was determined on EDTA-collected plasma using a competitive radioimmunoassay for Angiotensin I following the manufacturer’s instructions (Tecan). To rule out the impact of limiting amounts of angiotensinogen substrate in the plasma, an excess (about 180 ng) of angiotensinogen 1–14 renin substrate porcine (Sigma) was added to every sample, calibrator and control before quantification.

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.
