Accurate laboratory testing requires an understanding of the interactions between collection tubes and blood specimens which can adversely affect the accuracy of laboratory test results. The blood collection tubes like plain tube (containing no gel) used for collection of serum for selected chemistry tests, and serum gel tube contains a clot activator and gel separator used for various laboratory tests. Gel blood collection tube is influenced by a number of variables, some of which are controlled by the tube manufacturer, tube material, centrifugation speed and temperature; separator gel may release materials that interfere with analytical assays. This study is an investigation of the effect of gel blood collection tubes on vitamin A retinol, 25-OH vitamin D assays by HPLC method.
