Frequently asked questions
Are these tubes pre-filled for ESR testing?
Yes, each tube is pre-filled with 0.28 mL of 3.2% sodium citrate. This ensures the precise dilution ratio required for ESR determination is achieved automatically upon collection.
Do these tubes minimize exposure risks?
Yes, they feature a closed vacuum system. This design is specifically engineered to allow for direct sample collection, which significantly reduces the risk of accidental blood exposure for the user.
What is the total sample draw volume?
These tubes are factory-evacuated to automatically draw exactly 1 mL of blood when used with standard venous collection needle holders.
Are these glass tubes sterile?
Yes, the tubes are irradiated during manufacturing to ensure clinical integrity and safety for laboratory use.
Are they compatible with standard needle holders?
Yes, these tubes are designed to be used with standard venous blood collection needle holders, making them easy to integrate into your existing laboratory workflow.
Can I use these for general blood collection?
These tubes are specifically engineered for Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) determination. Because they are pre-filled with a specific amount of sodium citrate, they are intended for clinical procedures that require this specific dilution ratio.
Does the sodium citrate concentration meet clinical standards?
Yes, each tube is pre-filled with exactly 0.28 mL of 3.2% sodium citrate, which is the standardized concentration required to ensure precise, automatic sample dilution for ESR testing.
Is there any manual preparation needed before blood collection?
No, these are ready-to-use tubes. Because they come pre-filled with the exact additive amount, you can streamline your laboratory workflow immediately without the need for manual preparation.
How does the closed system design improve safety?
The closed system design is specifically engineered to minimize healthcare worker exposure to blood samples. By allowing for direct, secure sample collection, it significantly reduces the risk of accidental blood contact during the process.
Do I need any specialized equipment for these?
No, these tubes are designed to be compatible with standard blood collection needle holders, making them easy to integrate into your existing clinical setup without requiring additional specialized hardware.
