Edta microvette

Manufactured by Sarstedt
Sourced in Germany

EDTA-microvettes are small, single-use blood collection tubes designed for the collection and storage of blood samples. They contain EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) as an anticoagulant, which helps prevent blood clotting. The EDTA-microvettes provide a convenient and standardized method for collecting and handling small blood samples.

Plasma Biomarker Analysis in Rodents

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole-blood samples were collected from the tail into EDTA-microvettes (Sarstedt Inc) and were then centrifuged at 1000g for 10 min at 4 °C. Supernatants were aliquoted and stored at −20 °C. Plasma insulin and glucagon were determined by ELISA (Crystal Chem). Plasma free fatty acids (FFAs) (Abcam) and β-hydroxybutyrate (Sigma-Aldrich) were measured using a commercial kit.
Blood glucose and lactate levels were measured using a glucometer (Bayer Contour Next, Bayer Healthcare) and a lactometer (Lactate Scout 4 analyzer, EKF Diagnostics) with tail-tip bleeding.

Longitudinal Immune Profiling of Tumor-Bearing Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Peripheral blood (PB) was drawn longitudinally from the facial vein of each mouse. Whole blood samples were analyzed with flow cytometry, ProCyte IDXX® Hematology Analyzer (IDEXX Laboratories, Westbrook, ME, USA), and mass cytometry. At the endpoint, tumor tissues were processed as previously described for mass cytometry analysis as well as for immunohistochemistry. Blood cell count analysis with the ProCyte DX® Hematology Analyzer was performed with 50 μL of PB collected in EDTA microvettes (cat# 20.1341.100, Sarstedt AG & Co. KG, Nümbrecht, Germany) to characterize the clinical features of anemia (platelets, RBCs, reticulocytes, hemoglobin).

Murine Pharmacokinetics and Cytokine Induction

MHV370 in MC/Tween (0.5% methylcellulose/0.5% Tween-80) or vehicle alone was administered p.o. to 129/Sv mice (5 per group). At 1 h, mice were injected i.v. with 20 μg R0006 or 20 mg CpG1585, each pre-complexed with 140 μg DOTAP in Hanks Balanced Salt solution (HBSS). At 3 h, blood was withdrawn into EDTA Microvettes (Sarstedt) and plasma TNF and IFNα quantified using a mouse IFNα Platinum ELISA (Invitrogen) and a DuoSet TNF ELISA (R&D Systems), as single technical replicate per mouse. MHV370 serum concentrations were quantified by liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Whole blood was transferred into EDTA-coated tubes (EDTA Microvette, Sarstedt) and analyzed for hemogram parameters; plasma samples were snap frozen and used for analysis of creatine kinase (UniCell DxC 800 Synchron, Beckman Coulter). Corticosterone levels in blood and muscle were determined by Metabolon (Metabolon Inc., Pittsburgh, USA).

Quantification of FK506 in Blood and Brain

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For measurement of FK506 in peripheral blood, blood was collected from the tail vein into an EDTA Microvette (Sarstedt). 20 μl of blood was spotted on a Whatman 903 Protein Saver Card. Concentrations of FK506 were then determined by the UT Southwestern Preclinical Pharmacology Core using standard methods to determine FK506 concentrations [100 (link), 101 ]. Each individual mouse was bled no more than twice before sacrifice in accordance with our mouse protocol. For blood measurements, n = 4–12 per group. Significance * = p < 0.05 by two-tailed t-test with Holm-Šídák method. Brain tissue was provided to the UT Southwestern Preclinical Pharmacology core for analysis of FK506 levels. Blood measurements were used to correct for vasculature contributions of FK506 to the brain values. For post-mortem brain measurements, n = 6–10 per group. There was no significant difference between groups by two-tailed t-test with Holm-Šídák method.

Gastric Emptying Rate Measurement via Acetaminophen

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A gavage-based acetaminophen approach was used to measure gastric emptying rate, as this approach is standard in field for both humans and rats [10 (link), 38 (link), 39 (link)]. Animals (knockdown n = 6, control n = 6) were habituated to gavage prior to testing. Food was removed 16 h before testing (last 4 h of dark cycle plus full 12 h light cycle) to limit the influence of variability in stomach contents on gastric emptying rate. At dark onset, rats were gavaged with 6 mL of a test meal of vanilla-flavored Ensure (Abbott Laboratories, Chicago, IL; 1.42 kcal/mL) containing 40 mg acetaminophen (Sigma-Aldrich, Cat #PHR1005). Tail vein blood (~200μl) was collected immediately prior to dark onset/gavage (0; baseline) and 30, 60, and 90 min after dark onset/gavage with pre-coated EDTA microvette (Sarstedt, Nümbrecht Germany, supplier Fisher Scientific Cat# NC9976871). Tubes were immediately placed on wet ice, centrifuged, and plasma was collected and stored at −80°C until further processing. Acetaminophen concentrations were measured with a commercial kit (Cambridge Life Sciences, Ely, England K8003) adapted for a multi-well plate reader (Tecan Sunrise, Männedorf, Switzerland) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Each sample was run in duplicate.

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.
