V-TUBE Characteristic

Vacuum tubes are widely used in the clinical laboratory for routine tests. The clinical test has done between V-TUBE(AB MEDICAL, Korea) , Vacutainer (BD, USA) and Vacuette (GBO, Austria) for comparing performances in 28 routine clinical chemistry assays and three thyroid hormone assays in 3 hospitals.

Period	2017.11
Department	Department of Laboratory Medicine
Methods	One hundred volunteers from three hospitals were recruited and the peripheral blood samples were collected in each of the three serum separation tubes (SSTs). These samples were used for 28 routine clinical chemistry assays and three thyroid hormone assays. The results were analyzed by the Student paired t-test and the Bland-Altman plot. For stability tests, the initial results were compared with the day 1 (24±2 hours), day 3 (72±2 hours), and day 7 (168±2 hours) results, respectively.
Conclusions	The assay results for blood samples collected in V-Tubes were comparable to those obtained when blood was collected in BD Tubes and Greiner Tubes, and the blood collected in V-Tubes also showed excellent results in the stability tests.

Comparison result between BD Vacutainer Tubes and V-Tube™ with Clinical Test

V- Tubes can be suitable alternatives to BD Tubes with more competitive price.

Background: Vacuum tubes are widely used in clinical laboratories for routine tests. We compared a newly developed V-tube (AB Medical, Korea)and BD tubes (BD, USA) in common clinical assays, i.e., hematological, chemical, and immunological tests.
Methods: In total, 100 volunteers comprising 79 patients and 21 healthy volunteers were recruited and peripheral blood samples were collected with 2 brands of EDTA tubes and serum-separating tubes (SSTs). EDTA-tube samples were evaluated using 16 routine hematological tests. The SST samples were analyzed for 32 routine chemical parameters and 3 thyroid hormones. The results were statistically analyzed using the paired ttest and Bland-Altman plot. In addition, the stability of each analyte in 2 brands of vacutainers was evaluated. The results of the hematological tests at t=0 hr were compared with those at t=72±2 hr, and the results of the chemical parameters and thyroid hormones at t=0 hr were compared with those at t=72±2 hr and t=168±2 hr for each tube.
Results: Paired t-test analysis revealed that the test results of 16 routine hematological parameters, 32 routine chemical parameters, and 3 thyroid hormones showed clinically allowable differences between the 2 brands of vacuum tubes (t =0 hr). The results obtained when using V-tubes showed a statistically significant correlation with those obtained when using BD tubes. The stability of each analyte was similar in both vacuum tubes. Except for 10 parameters (white blood cell count, mean corpuscular volume, basophils [ %], mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, monocytes [ %], phospholipid, sodium, potassium, chloride, and free T4), all parameters showed significant but clinically allowable differences with regard to storage duration.
Conclusions: The newly developed V-tube vacutainers provide a suitable alternative to BD tubes in common clinical laboratories.
