Atellica® VTR Syringes
Responding to the need for accuracy
Heparin is a key component in arterial blood gas testing. Traditionally manufacturers have increased or reduced the amount and/or types of heparin in an effort to not alter electrolyte results (e.g., iCa++) through dilution or other effects. The Atellica® VTR Syringes respond to the need for accurate blood collection and sample integrity.
The design reduces the potential for pre-analytical errors, featuring a dry balanced lithium-zinc heparin formulation that prevents coagulation with virtually no impact on five main electrolytes1. Furthermore, the benefits of balanced lithium-zinc heparin are not affected by whole-blood samples with low protein content.2
Evidence
Multicap™ Capillary Tubes
The precise coating process and use of a balanced heparin formulation helps reduce electrolyte1 binding for more-accurate results and homogeneity along the entire tube length. Plastic capillaries come in multiple sample volume sizes and quantities and are supported by several companion products, including caps, mixing fleas,* magnets, and adapters.
*Recommended for pH, pO2, and pCO2 analysis only.
