Livingstone Blood Collection Plastic Tube with Fluoride/Oxalate, 5mL, 13 x 100mm, Grey Non Spill Cap, 100/Pack

Livingstone Blood Collection Plastic Tube with Fluoride/Oxalate — 5 mL, Grey Cap (100/Pack) is a specialist glucose testing tube designed to preserve blood glucose levels from the point of collection to laboratory analysis. The fluoride/oxalate additive combination inhibits enzymatic glycolysis, preventing the natural decline in glucose concentration that occurs in unpreserved blood samples — ensuring accurate fasting and random glucose results.

Key Features

• Fluoride/Oxalate additives — inhibit glycolytic enzymes to preserve blood glucose levels
• Grey non-spill cap — universally recognised colour coding for glucose/fluoride specimens
• 5 mL capacity, 13 x 100 mm — standard volume for glucose and lactate testing
• Plastic construction — shatter-resistant, safe for routine collection
• 100 per pack — cost-effective bulk supply for pathology and diabetes care

Ideal For

• Fasting and random blood glucose testing
• Glucose tolerance tests (GTT) and HbA1c supplementary panels
• Lactate testing where glycolysis inhibition is required
• Pathology, endocrinology, and diabetes management services

Usage note: As glucose is metabolised rapidly by blood cells after collection, use fluoride/oxalate tubes immediately and mix gently by inversion 8 times. Process promptly for most accurate results.
