Frequently asked questions
Does the plastic construction enhance safety?
Do these tubes include a clot activator and separator gel?
<ul>
<li><strong>Silica:</strong> Functions as a highly effective <strong>clot activator</strong>, significantly speeding up the clotting process required for serum testing.</li>
<li><strong>Separator Gel:</strong> Following centrifugation, the gel forms a durable, physical barrier. This effectively isolates the resulting serum from the blood clot, ensuring a clean sample ready for diagnostic testing.</li>
</ul>

What label types are offered?
<ul>
<li><strong>Paper Label:</strong> A standard, robust label for clear identification and necessary product information.</li>
<li><strong>See Thru Label:</strong> This specialized option is beneficial as it allows for <strong>visual inspection</strong> of the specimen after collection, providing increased clarity and transparency without obstruction.</li>
</ul>
What sizes and closure options are available?
