Frequently asked questions
Does this tube speed up the clotting process?
Yes, it is designed for efficiency. The inner wall is precision-coated with microscopic silica particles, which actively initiate and accelerate coagulation, ensuring you get a high-quality serum yield faster.
Is the tube material durable for lab use?
The tube is crafted from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) plastic. This material is highly valued for being:
- Shatter-resistant: A safer, more durable alternative to traditional glass.
- High-clarity: Provides excellent visual transparency for clear inspection of the specimen.
Is this tube compatible with standard lab equipment?
Absolutely. It is manufactured with a standard 13 x 100 mm form factor, making it widely compatible with most laboratory centrifuges and automated blood processing systems.
Does it meet strict government procurement standards?
Yes, this product is fully compliant with both the Buy American Act (BAA) and the Trade Agreement Act (TAA), making it a reliable choice for government and institutional laboratory settings.
Is the product sterile for clinical use?
Yes, every tube is manufactured as sterile to ensure it meets the rigorous hygiene and safety requirements of professional medical and laboratory environments.
How do I easily identify this tube in a rack?
The tube is designed for rapid identification through its distinct, professional color-coding:
- Red Pull Cap: Provides a secure seal.
- Black Ring: A distinctive black ring around the base of the cap allows for quick visual distinction in a busy laboratory setting.
What is the total capacity of the tube?
Each tube is designed to hold 6 mL of venous blood, making it an ideal size for standard serum collection protocols.
Is this product made in the United States?
Yes, this product is proudly manufactured in the United States, upholding strict quality control standards for medical supplies.
Can this tube be used in automated systems?
Yes, its standard dimensions and robust PET construction are engineered to integrate seamlessly into automated laboratory processing systems.
What is the primary benefit of the PET construction?
The use of PET plastic provides a dual benefit: it offers the shatter-resistance and safety of plastic, while maintaining the optical clarity required for accurate specimen inspection, rivaling the transparency of glass.
