| Blood collection tubes - red, 3 ml x box of 100. These tubes are manufactured to an extremely high standard. Additives are accurately measured and the vacuum is precisely controlled. Superior silicone coating ensures perfect clot retraction and increased serum yield. •The unique stopper design prevents cell entrapment, allowing centrifugation with the stopper on. This eliminates potentially hazardous aerosols. •Standardized amounts of additive and consistent draw volume virtually guarantee constant blood/additive ratios. •Eliminating the transfer of specimen from syringe to container significantly reduces the incidence of hemolysis. •Closed, non-leak system is safer for operators and eliminates re-sampling due to spoilt specimens. •Color coded. All tubes are sterilized. Evacuated blood collection systems are becoming increasingly popular. They have been shown to produce more consistent, high quality specimens more economically, with less risk to operators. Sterile Blood Collection Tubes Silicone coated tube indicates that the interior surface of the Blood Collection Tube has been coated with a water soluble silicone material. Sterilization applies to the tube and stopper interior only, and not to the outside of the tube or to the packaging. Tubes are sterilized by gamma radiation. |
