froggymork Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Have any other primarily Gel users noticed an increase in Rouleaux in the last 6 months? We have the Provue and do gel manually but have had an increasing need for tube screens because of the pesky rouleaux. Rouleaux used to be a rare incovenience but now we are almost seeing one a day. Any info appreciated..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimOz Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Suggestion from left field. Have you checked the blood collection tubes? I once saw a significant false positive rate in a different brand of CAT cards that was tracked to a batch of edta tube. Cause was never defined but a new batch of tubes fixed it.

jcdayaz Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hmm, no not with us. We are Provue/Gel users also. I have not noticed any recent increase with "issues". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
