- These 800 µL MiniCollect Z Serum Separator capillary blood collection tube is distinguished by a gold, rubber, cross-cut cap which does not need to be removed during the collection and sampling process
- The interior of these 11 x 40 mm serum tubes are coated with spray-dried blood clotting activator
- MiniCollect Serum and Plasma Tubes with Gel contain an inert, acrylic barrier in the bottom of the tube
- During centrifugation, the gel moves upward to form a stable barrier between the clot/cells and the serum/plasma

Frequently asked questions
Is this tube efficient for high-throughput labs?
Yes, it is designed for high-throughput environments. The integrated cross-cut cap allows for needle-free access, which reduces manual handling steps and significantly streamlines laboratory workflows.
Does the gel ensure stable sample separation?
Absolutely. It contains an inert, acrylic barrier that migrates during centrifugation to create a distinct, stable seal between the serum and cellular components. This ensures your samples remain stable during storage and transit.
Does the tube speed up the clotting process?
Yes, the interior is coated with a spray-dried SiO2 blood clotting activator. This specialized coating initiates the coagulation process efficiently to facilitate faster and more reliable serum production.
Is the cap designed for easier sampling access?
The unique rubber cross-section cap is engineered for convenience. It allows you to collect and sample without removing the cap, which minimizes technician effort and improves safety by eliminating the need to take the lid off.
Are these tubes durable for daily clinical use?
These tubes are constructed from high-quality polypropylene, which is both robust and reliable for professional laboratory settings. Additionally, the interior is silicone-coated to help ensure optimal specimen integrity.
What is the specific capacity of this tube?
This model is designed for a precise collection volume of 800 µL, making it an ideal choice for capillary blood collection applications.
Are these tubes TAA compliant for government facilities?
Yes, the MiniCollect Serum Separator Tube (Catalog Number: 450472) is TAA compliant, making it a suitable choice for facilities requiring adherence to these procurement standards.
Does the tube allow for easy specimen visibility?
The tube features a translucent body, which allows laboratory technicians to clearly visualize the specimen, the gel barrier, and the separation levels after centrifugation.
Is this tube intended for serum collection?
Yes, this is a specialized serum separator tube. It is specifically engineered to initiate clotting through its SiO2 coating and maintain that separation for diagnostic medical analysis.
What are the dimensions of this collection tube?
The tube dimensions are 11 x 40 mm, providing a compact and efficient profile that fits standard clinical centrifuge equipment.
