Sodium fluoride is the anticoagulant of choice for?
It is commonly used for glucose and lactate tests. The fluoride is used to stop/slow down processes in the red bloodcells(also in the other cells, but the erythrocytes have the biggest influence in this matter). Processes like the citric acid cycle, which uses glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP. In this process lactate is formed along with ATP. In other words, the glucose concentration in the plasma will decrease, and the lactate concentration will increase. When the blood is being obtained it will take about 30 minutes for the fluoride to start working.
