Greiner Bio-One VACUETTE High Altitude Coagulation Tubes with Sodium Citrate Solution
Description
- Greiner Bio-One developed the VACUETTE Coagulation Tube, known as a 'sandwich' tube due to its patented double-wall technology, in 1996.
- The inner tube is made of polypropylene (PP) and prevents the evaporation of the sodium citrate additive to maintain the correct blood-to-additive ratio.
- The outer tube is made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which maintains the vacuum for maximum shelf life.
- VACUETTE Blood Collection Tubes are evacuated for easy, safe sample collection.
- The amount of vacuum in each tube corresponds to the tubes blood volume specification and helps ensure the correct blood-to-additive ratio.
- Injection molded from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic, VACUETTE Blood Collection Tubes are highly transparent and virtually unbreakable.
- VACUETTE Serum tubes include a clot-activating additive micronized silica particles that is spray-dried on the interior tube wall for even disbursement and optimal blood/additive mixing.
- Optimal fill marks on every tube label indicate the proper draw volume for correct blood-to-additive ratios (within ±10 of the stated nominal volume in accordance with ISO and CLSI).
- Coagulation tube labels feature an arrow-shaped marker indicating the fill range where sample volume will yield the necessary 9:1 blood-to-additive ratio.
- Featuring blue VACUETTE SAFETY Caps, designed to minimize the spraying of aerosols during decapping and color-coded to aid first-glance tube recognition.
- The VACUETTE SAFETY Cap used on coagulation tubes is designed with a two-step stopper to seal both the inner and outer tubes for a longer shelf life.
- Sterile and latex-free.
