Frequently asked questions
Are these tubes suitable for viral load testing?
Yes, these tubes are specifically engineered for sensitive molecular diagnostics and viral load determinations, utilizing K2 EDTA and a separator gel to ensure high-quality plasma samples.
What is the recommended centrifugation window?
To achieve optimal diagnostic results, it is recommended that the tubes are centrifuged within 6 hours post-collection.
Do these tubes ensure secure sample transport?
Yes, they feature nonridged pull caps designed to maintain a reliable and secure seal during both transport and storage.
Is the plasma isolation effective?
The combination of K2 EDTA and specialized separator gel allows for efficient isolation of high-quality plasma, which is essential for accurate molecular assays.
Are these compatible with standard lab equipment?
Yes, the tubes feature a standard 13 x 100 mm profile that is optimized for use with most standard laboratory centrifuges and sample racks.
Can these be used for general blood collection?
While they are 5 mL tubes, they are specifically formulated for molecular diagnostics. For routine clinical blood collection, please ensure these match the specific additive requirements of your diagnostic assays.
Are these made of break-resistant material?
These tubes are constructed from high-clarity Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), which provides excellent durability, safety, and visual clarity for sample assessment.
How are these tubes identified in the lab?
Each tube is fitted with a white cap featuring distinctive yellow rings, which allows for quick visual identification in a busy laboratory setting.
