What is a Wintrobe tube?

A Wintrobe tube is a laboratory device used for measuring the sedimentation rate of red blood cells in a sample of blood. It is a long, thin tube with calibrated markings that allow for the measurement of how quickly the red blood cells settle, which can provide information about inflammation and certain medical conditions.


Which type of eukaryotic cells lacks nucleus?

Mammalian red blood cells lack a nucleus.Seive tube elements lack a nucleus.


Collection of blood for cholesterol testing is done in what color tube?

The collection tube for blood cholesterol testing is typically a red or gold/tiger top tube. The red tube usually contains a clot activator, while the gold/tiger top tube contains a gel separator to separate serum from the blood cells after centrifugation.


Test tube contains red blood cells and a salt solution When the tube is held up to a page you cannot see the print with reference to a concentrationof 0.9 percent how concentrated is the?

The concentration of the salt solution is 0.9%, which is isotonic with red blood cells. This means that there is no net movement of water across the cell membrane, resulting in no change in the appearance of the red blood cells when viewed against a page.

The tube used for drawing blood for a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is typically a red or gold-top tube. These tubes contain a gel separator that helps separate serum from blood cells during centrifugation.


Why don't red blood cells pass through the dialysis tube?

The reason why red blood cells don't pass through the dialysis tube is because red blood cells are too large to fit through the pores in the membranes but urea and salt flow through membranes into the sterile solution and are removed.

What color tube do you collect for Titers?

For titers, blood can be collected in a red-top tube (serum separator tube) or a gold-top tube (serum separator tube with gel). The serum is then separated from the blood cells by centrifugation and used for the titer test.
