Frequently asked questions
Does this tube provide reliable sample preservation?
Yes. These tubes are engineered for superior reliability. The interior is precisely coated with K2 EDTA, an essential anticoagulant that effectively binds calcium ions to block the coagulation cascade, ensuring sample integrity for accurate hematology testing.
Is the material durable for laboratory use?
Absolutely. Each tube is constructed from high-clarity polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and features a silica coating. This combination provides a robust, durable, and transparent vessel designed specifically for the rigors of professional clinical environments.
Are these tubes suitable for high-volume settings?
Yes, they are an excellent choice for high-volume environments. They are supplied in bulk quantities of 1200 units per case, ensuring that busy hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, and medical clinics remain well-stocked for daily operations.
Are the caps designed for quick identification?
Yes. The tubes feature signature lavender pull caps accented with black rings. This distinct design allows for quick, standardized visual recognition in fast-paced laboratory settings, helping to reduce errors during processing.
How should I record patient information on the tube?
Each tube comes with a pre-printed, easy-to-use adhesive label. It includes dedicated sections to record essential data, such as: <ul><li>Name</li><li>Patient Number</li><li>Date of Birth</li><li>Ward</li><li>Date and Time</li><li>Signature</li></ul>
Are these tubes meant for venous blood collection?
Yes. These are specifically engineered for venous blood collection procedures where the inhibition of the coagulation cascade is required for subsequent laboratory analysis.
What is the total capacity per tube?
Each individual tube is designed with a capacity of 3 mL within a compact 13 x 75 mm frame, offering the ideal size for standard hematological blood collection procedures.
Is the silica coating beneficial for the procedure?
The silica coating applied to the PET material enhances the overall quality and performance of the tube, providing a smooth surface that ensures reliable sample handling during the collection process.
Are these tubes factory new?
Yes, all Greiner Bio-One Vacuette Venous Blood Collection Tubes are provided as factory new, ensuring they meet the high standards of sterility and performance required for diagnostic medical use.
Does the lavender cap indicate a specific use?
Yes, the lavender cap is the industry-standard indicator for K2 EDTA tubes, which are specifically designated for hematology procedures that require the prevention of coagulation.
