| | s010413a - Iron-Deficiency Anemia - Serum Ferritin Diagnosis |
 | | Although reduced serum ferritin in anemic individuals is good evidence of iron deficiency, a significant proportion of anemic iron-deficient patients is missed by this procedure rendering it less useful than other, less expensive laboratory methods. | | | All 19 patients with low serum ferritin had iron deficiency as assessed on bone marrow examination, whereas six patients with low or absent bone marrow iron stores had serum ferritin within normal range. | | | Iron deficiency and iron overload: serum ferritin and serum iron in clinical medicine. |

| | To transfer blood from the syringe to the appropriate tubes, remove the needle from the syringe and replace it with an 18- or 19-gauge needle. | | | They are hollow stainless steel tubes with a beveled end. Each needle comes in a different size, and that size is referred to as the needle gauge. | | | When you are ready to perform the venipuncture, grasp the wings between your thumb and index or middle finger, hold the skin and vein taut with your other hand, and penetrate the skin with the needle. |

| | Biological fluid dispenser and separator - Patent 4012325 |
| | To prevent leakage of serum out of the hole, while still permitting air flow, the vent 300 can either be filled with air permeable material, not shown, such as a liquid-impermeable membrane, or a cellular material the pores of which will readily plug when serum flows into it. | | | The invention is intended for use in the dispensing of blood sera directly from blood separators onto suitable substrates, for clinical analysis. | | | The transition zone between platform 102 and the connecting surface such as wall 108 defines an edge 109 which preferably is sufficiently sharp as to prevent the tendency of the serum drop to climb up the wall 108 or groove 104 under the influence of surface tension. |

| | Blood separating composition - Patent 4021340 |
| | Such separations of whole blood into its two major components have greatly facilitated physical and chemical analyses of blood and, hence, assisted in the diagnosis and prognosis of many human ailments. | | | With the advent of modern sophisticated techniques for the analysis of various physical and chemical sub-components of blood, there has been a general recognition that simple centrifugation of whole blood into its two major components does not necessarily effect an ideal separation for analytical purposes. | | | The method of claim 1 wherein the specific gravity of the composition ranges from 1.037 to 1.050. |

| | These tubes cannot be used for therapeutic drug levels because the drug will diffuse from the serum into the gel, causing a reduction in measured drug level. | | | The gel in SST II tubes (which appears slightly less opaque) is supposed to have less effect on drug levels in serum. | | | They are used in medical clinical chemistry tests requiring blood serum, and contains a special gel that separates blood cells from serum, as well as particles to cause blood to clot quickly. |
