Frequently asked questions

Does the separator gel effectively maintain sample integrity?

Yes. The tube features an inert, acrylic barrier that moves during centrifugation to create a stable, secure separation between the plasma and cellular components. This ensures the sample remains stable throughout both the centrifugation process and subsequent transportation.

Is this tube suitable for high-speed centrifugation?

The tube is engineered for durability and is rated for a Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) of up to 3,000xG, making it well-suited for standard clinical laboratory procedures.

Are these tubes made from high-quality materials?

Yes, they are constructed from high-quality, translucent polypropylene. This material is selected for its durability and clarity, allowing for easy visual inspection of the sample volume.

How does the cross-section cap improve handling?

The rubber cross-section cap is specifically designed to minimize sample loss and provide a highly secure seal. This design ensures the integrity of the 800 µL sample during handling and transport.

Is this product compliant with trade regulations?

Yes, this model is TAA (Trade Agreement Act) compliant, which makes it a suitable and reliable choice for clinical procurement requirements that necessitate adherence to trade standards.

Can I easily see the volume of blood collected?

Absolutely. The tube is made from translucent polypropylene, which offers excellent visibility so you can quickly and accurately monitor the blood volume within the tube.

Is the light green cap color-coded for specific additives?

Yes, the light green closure identifies the specific combination of Lithium Heparin and Separator Gel. This color-coding is a standard feature to help laboratory staff quickly identify the additive present in the tube.

Is this tube ideal for professional clinical settings?

Yes, these tubes are designed specifically for clinical, hospital, and laboratory environments. They are an ideal choice for diagnostic procedures that require precise, small-volume plasma separation.

What is the primary function of the lithium heparin additive?

The Lithium Heparin acts as an anticoagulant, ensuring the blood remains in a liquid state, which is essential for accurate plasma extraction and subsequent clinical analysis.

Are these tubes manufactured to high quality standards?

Yes, these are factory-new products manufactured in Spain by Greiner Bio-One, a globally recognized brand known for producing high-quality laboratory disposables.
