We are pleased to present our updated and extended booklet “Tips & Techniques in Preanalytics“ that now comes in an entirely new design in respect of both content and layout.
The new edition has been scientifically and academically supported by Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Lichtinghagen, at Hannover Medical School, MHH.
Totally new are the important topics “Haemolysis“, “Blood collection in paediatrics, ”Blood gas“ and ”Safety when collecting blood“.
The chapter “Venous blood collection“, for example, describes the two orders of draw typically applied worldwide. Also, we have addressed one of the most frequently asked questions in respect of underfilling (“Avoiding underfilling”).
The extended centrifugation ranges of our S-Monovette® venous blood collection system are outlined under ”Centrifugation“.
The chapter “Carrying out capillary blood collection“ now includes the essential aspects of blood collection when using catheters and blood culture flasks.
The information provided in the booklet is supported by a list of scientific publications on preanalytics.
