Disposable blood collection tubes are sterile items, and their storage requirements are as follows:
Storage temperature: Disposable blood collection tubes should be stored in a 4°C refrigerator to ensure that their sterility is not affected.
Use now: When collecting specimens, follow the doctor's advice and take them now to avoid possible contamination caused by long-term storage.
Pay attention to the sampling time: Take blood in the supine position in the early morning, and take standing blood after 2 hours of activity after getting up to ensure the accuracy of the sample.
Send for inspection in time: Sampling should be sent for inspection immediately after sampling to avoid the sample staying in the collection tube for a long time to reduce the risk of contamination.
Transportation requirements: During transportation, collision and squeezing should be avoided to prevent the test tube from breaking and affecting the blood drawing function.
Prevent exposure to the sun: Avoid long-term exposure to the sun to prevent the test tube from deforming and affecting its use function and sterility.
