FAQS on fbs test tube

Q: What is an FBS test tube used for?

A: An FBS test tube is designed to collect fasting blood sugar (FBS) samples. It ensures accurate glucose level measurements by preventing contamination. These tubes often contain additives like sodium fluoride to preserve the sample.

Q: How to properly use an FBS sample collection tube?

A: Label the tube, collect the blood sample after 8-12 hours of fasting, and invert it gently 5-10 times. This mixes the anticoagulant with the blood. Follow lab guidelines for storage and transport to maintain sample integrity.

Q: What makes an FBS vacutainer different from regular tubes?

A: FBS vacutainers contain additives like sodium fluoride and potassium oxalate to stabilize glucose levels. They are vacuum-sealed for precise blood draw volumes. Standard tubes lack these specialized preservatives for glucose testing.

Q: Can any tube be used for FBS sample collection?

A: No, only tubes with glucose-preserving additives (e.g., sodium fluoride) should be used. Standard tubes may cause inaccurate results due to glycolysis. Always verify tube compatibility with your lab protocol.

Q: How should FBS test tubes be stored after collection?

A: Store FBS tubes at 2-8°C if not tested immediately. Avoid freezing or prolonged exposure to heat. Process samples within 1-2 hours to ensure reliable glucose measurements.
