PS Gel Fast, easy, clean and greater yield for separating serum or plasma 1. Background In recent years, the number of hematological examinations has rapidly increased. This increase is due not only to the constant advancement in medical technology, but to a more assured recognition of blood-related diseases. As a result, the demand for medical checkups is high - no doubt in order to promote early detection of blood-related diseases, the most common being hemophilia. Using a centrifuge, medical practitioners place a patient's blood into a vial, and through centrifugation are able to separate the serum from the clotted blood. However, high efficiency and maximum accuracy are instrumental to the success of this process, and such efficiency and accuracy can be achieved through use of PS Gel. PS Gel is not only an advanced sealant which separates the serum from the clotted blood, but it masterfully creates a partition between the serum and the actual clot. 2. Material Information Like its name suggests, PS Gel retains gel-like properties comprised of both an acrylic polymer and a suppressed filler. As a result of its cutting edge components, PS Gel provides thixotropic properties. In addition, PS Gel is water insoluble -and because of its chemically restrained material - it creates no adverse reaction to the many components of the blood itself. The advantages of PS Gel: PS Gel allows for a more gentle yet efficient separation of the clotted blood from the serum, and as a result, less blood is required from the patient. In plain terms: higher accuracy equals less blood taken. PS Gel stifles the travel of the red blood cells into the serum, thus avoiding all contamination of the serum itself. PS Gel eliminates all interference caused by wandering red blood cells, which in turn eliminates the all peripheral influence over the assessment - ultimately ensuring both more reliable and more accurate diagnoses. 3. Characteristics The technical superiorities of PS Gel: The excellence in quality allows no contamination of the serum/plasma. The suppression of the chemicals results in the elimination of all outside influence of the results. The quality and the integrity of PS Gel remain reliable and intact for a long period of time. Because of its unmatched structural viscosity, PS Gel forms a highly stable barrier between the clotted blood and the serum. 4. Application The suggested application of PS Gel: 1. Application #1  a) PS Gel is first poured into the collection tube (usually 1.0-2.0g).  b) The test blood is then added to the same collection tube. (Fig. 1-1) 2. Application #2  a) PS Gel is poured into a dispenser (usually 1.0-2.0g).  b) The test blood is then emptied into an empty collection tube.  c) The PS Gel is then dispensed on top of the test blood. As the centrifugation of the collection tube occurs, PS Gel exhibits its unique mobility. Depending on the application, PS Gel either rises upwards (Fig.1) or is dispensed into the collection tube (Fig. 2). Yet - regardless of application - PS Gel forms an unwavering partition between the serum (upper) and the clotted (blood). 5. Condition For Usage As described in the previous figure, the collection tube containing both the collected blood and the PS Gel must be left standing for 30 minutes in order for maximum efficiency. After this period, the collection tube is then centrifuged at 1,300 - 1,600xG for 10 to 15 minutes. The PS Gel then adjusts itself to a balanced weight, lying between the clotted blood and the serum. As a result of the centrifugal force, PS Gel begins transforms itself into a solid partition, successfully separating the clotted blood (lower) from the serum (upper). However, the methods of the centrifugation of blood are not limited to the two procedures mentioned above. The customer can modify the procedures in various ways. For example: an adequate quantity of PS Gel may be added to the container with the "whole" blood prior to centrifugation. 6. How To Use Fig. 1 1. Blood collection tube containing PS Gel. 2.
