Abstract :

The aim of the study is to compare random blood glucose levels processed in three different types of collection vials(i.e. Clot,EDTA,NaF) with increase in time. Blood samples are collected from 30 non–diabetic healthy individuals and are filled in equal amounts separately to clot vials, EDTA vials and NaF vials. After that serum was separated from each vials before estimation by centrifugation over 10 minutes in 3000 rpm and analyzed for blood glucose levels at hourly interval for next 5 hours by a Vitros 250 autoanalyser. The glucose level of the samples tend to fall with increase in time. It falls more rapidly in clot vials than EDTA vials. The fall is minimum in samples collected in NaF vials.
