    Why does the excess air in a blood sample for blood gas analysis need to be removed immediately after blood collection?

    Generally, the oxygen or CO2 status is determined from the blood in a blood gas analysis. In order to do this, it is necessary to ensure that the blood sample is not enriched with oxygen from the excess air.

    Does Sarstedt offer collection systems for blood gas analytics?

    Yes, Sarstedt offers collection systems for arterial, venous (1 and 2 ml) and capillary (100 µl, 125 µl, 140 µl, 175 µl) sample collection. The Blood Gas Monovette® and the blood gas capillaries are prepared with Ca2+(calcium)-balanced heparin.

    Is it possible to connect Safety-Needles/Safety-Multifly® needles to the Blood Gas Monovette®, which has a Luer connection, and collect blood?

    Yes, using the membrane adapter Art. No. 14.1112). This is placed on the Luer cone of the Blood Gas Monovette® and the procedure is then completed with the Safety-Needle/Safety-Multifly® needle as usual.

    Can the Blood Gas Monovette® be shaken well or swivelled to ensure that it is mixed well?

    No. Since the Blood Gas Monovette® which has been filled and has had the excess air removed does not have a dead volume, it is recommended that the blood sample is rolled carefully between the palms immediately after collection.

    How is the Blood Gas Monovette® prepared?

    The Blood Gas Monovette® is distinguished by its liquid preparation with Ca2+ -balanced heparin, which ensures rapid mixing of the heparin with the blood.

    What is Ca2+ -balanced/titrated/equilibrated heparin?

    In this heparin, all of the active binding sites are saturated with calcium, so Ca2+ can be determined from the blood sample without any interference.

  • +

    What needs to be taken into account when finishing blood collection with the Blood Gas Monovette® at a vascular access?

    At the end of the blood collection, the Blood Gas Monovette® should be twisted in a clockwise direction to remove it from the vascular access. The same applies to connecting and disconnecting to/from an analysis device.

    How long after blood collection can a blood gas analysis (BGA) be carried out on a blood sample which has not been chilled?

    The BGA should be carried out immediately if possible, but no later than 15 minutes after collection.
