Frequently asked questions

Does this tube help speed up serum separation?

Yes, these tubes feature a microscopic silica coating that effectively accelerates the blood coagulation process, allowing for faster and more efficient serum separation in the lab.

How does the separator gel ensure sample integrity?

During centrifugation, the integrated separator gel moves to form a stable physical barrier between the serum and the cellular components. This isolation effectively keeps the serum free from fibrin and cells, preserving the sample’s quality for analysis.

Is the material durable for clinical handling?

Absolutely. The tubes are constructed from medical-grade Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) plastic, which is chosen for its excellent structural integrity and durability in fast-paced clinical environments.
