Trisodium citrate is used as an anticoagulant for coagulation investigations. It works as an anticoagulant by forming complexes with metal ions such as calcium inhibiting the coagulation cascade. Anticoagulation with trisodium citrate is reversible. BD Vacutainer Citrate Tubes contain buffered citrate in accordance with recommendations: 0.105 M or 0.109 M of buffered trisodium citrate solution, equivalent to 3.2% trisodium citrate The blood to additive ratio is 9:1. BD Vacutainer Citrate Tubes are also suitable for carrying out special test procedures such as the platelet function test PFA-100. Special tubes and the associated additional costs are therefore unnecessary.
