Potassium edta

Manufactured by BD
Sourced in United States

Potassium EDTA is a chemical compound used in laboratory equipment. It is a salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) with potassium as the counterion. Potassium EDTA is commonly used as an anticoagulant in blood collection and analysis procedures.

Rodent Blood Collection and Processing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rodent blood was collected under IACUC protocols for (DH) and (PL). For mice, whole blood was collected by ocular bleed. For rats, blood was collected from the saphenous vein on the inside of the thigh using a 21 gauge needle. Serum was allowed to clot at room temperature for 2–5 hours followed by centrifugation at 5000 × g for 10 minutes. The supernatant was collected and stored at −80°C in fresh tube. For plasma, blood was collected into BD 0.5ml microtainer tubes containing Potassium EDTA (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ). Blood was centrifuged at 15,000 × g for 10 minutes to separate the plasma from the red blood cells. Plasma was collected, aliquoted and stored at −80°C until analysis.

The guidelines established by the National Institutes of Health Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare were adhered to for the use of animals with housing conditions. All protocols were reviewed and approved by the University of Minnesota Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Eleven weeks old adult male B6C3F1/J mice (Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME) were used in this study. The animals (N = 5) were given intraperitoneal injection of ABP at a dose of 40 mg/kg body weight (100 μL of 80% DMSO : 20% H2O). The blood was collected from the abdominal aorta into vacutainers containing potassium EDTA (Becton Dickinson), 24 h following dosing. The Hb was processed as described.35 (link)

Hematology and Transaminase Analysis in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole blood was obtained from the mice through their heart and collected in a potassium EDTA (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, USA) tube. Hematology profile was analyzed using an automatic hematology analyzer (Sysmex Corp., Japan). Transaminase enzymes alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were analyzed using the Lab kit from Chemelex, S. A. and the results were read at 340 nm wavelength on a spectrophotometer (Infinite 200 Pro, TECAN, Switzerland). The absorbance difference and the average absorbance difference were calculated and multiplied with 1750. Then, the concentration was expressed in units per liter.

Comprehensive Blood Analysis Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
On day 84, blood samples were collected by puncture of the coccygeal vessels. Samples were placed in vacutainer tubes without anticoagulant but with potassium EDTA (Becton, Dickinson and Company, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). The coagulated and EDTA were analyzed or processed within 1 h after collection. The blood samples from tubes without anticoagulant were centrifuged at 3000× g for 15 min at 4 °C for serum separation and frozen at −80 °C for further analysis. White cell count was performed using a Neubauer chamber, utilizing a Thoma pipette after dilution to 1:20, using Türk solution. Serum concentration of vitamin E was determined according to the method described in [24 (link)] using liquid chromatography. Serum Se concentration was assessed using a fluorometric method, as described by Olson et al. [25 (link)]. Vitamin E analysis was performed at the Diagnostics and Clinical Analysis Laboratory in Pirassununga, and Se analysis was performed at the USP/FZEA Mineral Laboratory.
Blood serum was analyzed for glucose, total cholesterol, high- (HDL), low- (LDL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides using commercial kits (Laborlab®; Guarulhos, SP, Brazil) by an enzymatic-colorimetric method.

Measurement of Glucose and Lipid Levels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood samples were obtained in tubes containing 15% potassium EDTA (Becton Dickinson) for measurement of glucose and lipoprotein lipid levels and enumeration and isolation of CACs. Plasma glucose levels were measured with a glucose analyzer (2300 STAT Plus, YSI, Yellow Springs, Ohio, USA). Lipoprotein lipid levels were analyzed using an automated colorimetric assay as previously described (Joseph et al. 2011 (link)). Briefly, HDL-C was measured in the supernatant after precipitation with dextran sulfate, and LDL-C was calculated using the Friedewald equation:
[LDL-cholesterol]=[totalcholesterol]-[HDL-cholesterol]-([triglyceriders]/5)

Blood Collection for Nucleic Acid Isolation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Before and after MS stimulus, 10 mL of blood were collected in red-capped tubes (no anticoagulant, Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ) by a phlebotomist and allowed to clot at room temperature for 30 min post draw. Tubes were then centrifuged 20 min at 2,000×g at 4 °C to precipitate cellular material. Supernatant was removed and transferred to cryotubes for RNA isolation.
An additional 4 mL of blood were collected into lavender-topped tubes (potassium EDTA, Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ) and transferred to separate cryotubes for DNA isolation.
All blood specimens were stored at −80 °C prior to nucleic acid isolation.

Evaluating Platelet Function in ACS Patients

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood samples were drawn via venipuncture after overnight fasting, 5 days after starting the treatment with 75 mg of clopidogrel, and 24 to 96 hours after performing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in case of patients with ACS treated by this procedure.
For CYP2C19 genotyping, blood was collected into vacutainer tubes containing potassium EDTA as anticoagulant (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, New Jersey) and preserved at 2 C to 8 C until processing.
In order to reduce procedure-related platelet activation, the second tube was used to evaluate platelet aggregation. Impedance aggregometry was performed between 30 minutes and 2 hours after blood sampling, using whole blood samples collected into commercially available double-wall, hirudin blood tubes (Roche Diagnostics International Ltd, Rotkreuz, Switzerland).

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.
