Frequently asked questions
Does this tube maintain sample integrity for coagulation testing?
Yes. This tube is specifically engineered for coagulation studies. It contains a precisely measured 3.2% Sodium Citrate additive, which is the gold standard for preventing clotting during collection and ensuring optimal sample integrity for laboratory analysis.
Is the material durable enough for transport and processing?
Absolutely. The tubes are constructed from high-grade Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) plastic. This material is selected for two primary reasons:
- Robustness: It is highly resistant to breakage during handling and transport.
- Clarity: It offers glass-like transparency for excellent visibility of the specimen.
Does this product meet specific regulatory manufacturing standards?
Yes, these tubes are certified compliant with both:
- Buy American Act (BAA)
- Trade Agreement Act (TAA)
These certifications reflect the quality and standards associated with its manufacturing origin in the United States.
How are these tubes identified in a busy lab?
Each tube features a standardized light blue pull cap with a black ring. This color-coding system is designed specifically for high-throughput laboratory settings to ensure quick and accurate identification of the tube type by clinical staff.
What is the total volume capacity of each tube?
Each tube is designed to hold exactly 3.5 mL of blood, ensuring accurate blood-to-additive ratios required for consistent laboratory results.
Are these tubes provided in a sterile condition?

What are the physical dimensions of these collection tubes?
These tubes measure 13 x 75 mm, a standard size compatible with most automated laboratory equipment and centrifuge holders used in professional clinical environments.
Is the pull cap secure enough for lab transit?
The pull-cap closure is engineered for a secure fit, designed to keep the specimen contained safely throughout the collection and transport process, minimizing the risk of leakage or contamination.
Who manufactures these specialized collection tubes?
These tubes are manufactured by Greiner Bio-One, a trusted leader in clinical laboratory supplies, known for precision engineering and high-quality medical disposables.
What is the primary additive used to prevent clotting?
The tube utilizes a 3.2% Sodium Citrate additive. This concentration is essential for professional coagulation testing as it provides the correct chemical environment to keep the blood sample in a liquid state without altering the parameters necessary for accurate analysis.
