Frequently asked questions

Does this tube ensure reliable clotting for samples?

Yes. The interior wall is treated with microscopic silica particles, which act as a highly effective clot activator. This ensures that blood samples clot rapidly and reliably, making them ideal for clinical chemistry determinations.

Can these tubes withstand high-speed centrifugation?

Absolutely. These tubes are constructed from durable, high-quality polypropylene, allowing them to maintain stability during centrifugation at forces up to 3,000xG.

How does the cap design aid in sample collection?

The tube features a rubber cross-section cap. This specific design allows for easier access during the collection procedure while ensuring a secure seal for the 1 mL sample.

Is this product suitable for professional laboratory environments?

Yes. The MiniCollect system is designed specifically for:

  • Clinical laboratories
  • Medical clinics
  • Point-of-care testing environments

It is fully TAA compliant, meeting the rigorous standards required for institutional supply chains.

How do I activate the clotting process after collection?

Once the blood sample is collected, simply perform a gentle inversion of the tube. This action ensures the spray-dried silica particles on the inner wall properly integrate with the sample to facilitate efficient serum separation.

What is the total capacity of each tube?

Each tube is designed to hold 1 mL of capillary blood, providing a compact and precise volume for laboratory diagnostic needs.

Is the material safe for medical chemistry applications?

Yes, the tubes are made from high-grade, translucent polypropylene. This material is chosen for its chemical stability and clarity, ensuring that technicians can easily monitor the sample while maintaining the integrity required for clinical chemistry.

Are these tubes easy to label and track?

Yes. Each tube features a dedicated white adhesive label that includes clearly marked fields for recording essential data, such as the date and the patient’s ward, to ensure accurate sample tracking.

What are the physical dimensions of the tube?

The tubes are compact and precision-engineered, measuring 11 x 40 mm, which is optimized for standard laboratory equipment and capillary collection workflows.

Where is this laboratory equipment manufactured?

This professional-grade specimen container is manufactured in Spain, adhering to strict quality standards for medical and clinical supply chains.
