Can EDTA dipotassium and sodium fluoride be used together in blood samples?

In recent years, with the progress of the medical industry, more and more fully automated instruments are used to assist in the detection of patients' conditions, which not only saves time, but also further makes the detection results more accurate. Among them, there is a blood glucose detection analysis that relies on appropriate anticoagulants to help determine and reduce errors when performing instrument testing. When used in blood sugar testing, some people say that potassium EDTA can be used, while others say that sodium fluoride can be used. Can the two be used together? The answer is yes.

As a weak anticoagulant, sodium fluoride has a melting point of>990 ℃. When added to the bottom of the anticoagulant test tube, it can be dried at 100 ℃. It can effectively inhibit NSE in the process of glucose catabolism, blocking the dehydration of monoglycerate monophosphate produced in the third stage of the glucose catabolism pathway, thereby effectively inhibiting glucose catabolism, maintaining the stability of concentration components, and is a high-quality preservative for blood glucose test specimens.

Therefore, it can be seen from the above that sodium fluoride and potassium EDTA can be used together for blood glucose detection, but they cannot be used together.
