Thixotropic separator gel is a substance used in laboratories to separate the components of a mixture by taking advantage of the thixotropic properties of the gel. Thixotropic gels become less viscous when agitated, allowing for easy separation of the components.

What is the purpose of thixotropic gel in an evacuated tube?

Thixotropic gel in an evacuated tube is used to separate serum or plasma from blood cells during centrifugation. This gel helps maintain the separation by forming a barrier between the serum/plasma and the blood cells, preventing contamination and allowing for accurate testing.

Why does hand sanitizer go from gel to liquid?

The hand sanitizer is a weak gel, and the shear flow of spreading it on the hands breaks up the gerl. Such a property is sometimes called thixotropy. One way to think of it is that the bonds holding the gel together are not the permanent type, and once they are disturbed, it takes a while to re-form. Paint is a famous example of a thixotropic substance. It lows on when brushed, but then gels when left alone. If paint were not thixotropic, it would flow down onto the floor.

Is glycerin thixotropic?

No, glycerin is not thixotropic. Thixotropic materials have a property where they become less viscous under stress and then return to a higher viscosity when the stress is removed. Glycerin, however, remains a constant viscosity regardless of stress.

What is a thixotropic liquid?

A thixotropic liquid is a substance that becomes less viscous under stress, such as being stirred or shaken, and returns to its original viscosity when left undisturbed. This property allows the liquid to flow more easily when agitated and then thicken back up once the agitation stops. One common example of a thixotropic liquid is paint.

How is clot activator reagents made?

Clot activator reagents are usually made by combining materials like silica, kaolin, or glass particles with a separation gel such as thixotropic gel or silicone to promote clot formation in blood collection tubes. These materials help accelerate the clotting process by activating the coagulation cascade when blood is collected in the tube. The specific formulation of clot activator reagents can vary between manufacturers.


What is the difference between thixotropic materials and pseudoplastic fluids?

While both adjectives describe a fluid with a decreasing viscosity, thixotropic materials exhibit this change as a result of time (under constant shear) while pseudoplastic materials exhibit this change as a result of increasing the rate of shear stress.
