FORMULATES DEVELOPED OF THE MICROHEMATOCRIT TUBES WITH HEPARINA.

In accordance with the FDA the micro-hematocrit is a device used for the measuring of the volume of red globules packed in whole blood, with the purpose of determining the normal patient's volume total eritrocitario. This volume takes place for centrifugation of a volume of blood whole anticoagulated. The election anticoagulant for the cover of the micro-hematocrit tubes is the solid heparin. The inside cover with this anticoagulant possesses a minimum of 2 units USP (United State Pharmacopea).

PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF THE TUBES FOR HEMATOCRITO WITH HEPARINA.

a) Physical-chemical properties:

Longitude: 75 (1,5 mm).
Maximum tolerance of the diameter: 0,026 mm in 75 mm of longitude
Interior diameter: 1,1-1,2 mm.
External diameter: 1,4 -1,6 mm.
Thickness of walls: 0,2 (0,02 mm).
Capacity: 75-80 µl.
Material employee: I glaze type it soda-lime.

b) Biological properties:

The used heparin analyzed under the protocol of the USP, it completes the norms of the monograph for heparin as for their aspect, identification, dry weight, pH, solubility, sulfuric heavy, ashy concentrations of metals, proteins, nitrogen and pirogens.
She/he has a power of 165 µl/mg, so that the content of at least 2 units USP in 80 µl assures an effective concentration of anticoagulant (10-20 (l/ml. of blood).

STORAGE

The tubes heparinized resists any atmosphere type, the important thing is that the 50° C of temperature doesn't exceed. The activity of the anticoagulant exceeds the 20 months.
