Type your answer here... how dose clot activator solution is made ?
yes, but how fast?
yes, but how fast?
Tissue plasminogen activator.
Serum is obtained from a SSt tube, which is allowed to clot and is then centrifuged
Serum Separator Tube (SST ™') for serum determinations in chemistry and serology. Contains separator gel and should not be used for toxicology or drug testing. Inversions ensure mixing of clot activator with blood. Blood clotting time 30 minutes.
SST Tube stands for "Serum Separator Tube"This is a gel and clot activator tube that is used for clinical biochemistry and immunology. Inside the tube, there is a barrier gel present at the bottom, which is a pure substance, very stable in physical and chemical features. Even under a high temperature, the barrier will not change inside at all. After centrifugation, the barrier can effectively separate the serum from fibrin and cell, while preventing substance exchange between blood cell and serum.
Test tube holders are for after you take blood and if u have a test tube that has the clot activator in it, it has to sit for 30 mins so the blood can clot, once it clots you spin it down and you get the serum that is inside
In the body's natural systems, tissue plasminogen activator or tPA attaches itself to the clot and breaks it down by plasmin fibrinolysis. This is done artificially (thrombolysis) using drugs such as streptokinase, urokinase, or recombinant tPA formulations.
sst card
it is the activator device
