Description

  • VACUETTE Serum Tubes with Gel contain a barrier gel that is present in the bottom of the tube
  • During centrifugation, the barrier gel moves upward to the serum-clot interface where it forms a stable barrier, separating the serum from the cells
  • VACUETTE Serum Clot Activator with Gel Tubes are FDA 510(k) cleared for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM)
  • They may also be used for routine clinical chemistry, immunohematology, serology or immunology testing

Frequently asked questions

Is the barrier gel reliable for sample processing?

Yes, the integrated barrier gel is designed to shift precisely to the serum-clot interface during centrifugation. This creates a high-quality, stable barrier that prevents contamination and allows for consistent, clean serum retrieval.

Are these tubes suitable for drug monitoring tests?

Absolutely. These tubes are FDA 510(k) cleared specifically for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), as well as routine clinical chemistry, serology, immunohematology, and immunology testing.

Does the tube construction ensure lab durability?

Yes, these tubes are manufactured from high-grade Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) plastic. This material is selected for its strength and clarity, ensuring reliability in professional, high-volume laboratory environments.

How quickly does the blood clot in this tube?

The interior of the tube is silica-coated, which acts as a specialized clot activator to facilitate a rapid and efficient clotting process, helping you streamline your laboratory workflow.

Is this product manufactured in the United States?

Yes, this product is proudly manufactured in the United States and is fully compliant with both the Buy American Act (BAA) and the Trade Agreement Act (TAA).

Is the product verified as sterile for clinical use?

Yes, each tube is sterile and designed for single-use, ensuring it meets the rigorous safety standards required for professional venous blood collection in clinical and hospital settings.

What is the standard volume capacity for these tubes?

This specific model is engineered with a 5 mL volume capacity, which is the ideal size for most standard clinical diagnostic blood collection procedures.

Do these tubes work with standard centrifuge equipment?

Yes, these tubes feature a standard 13 X 100 mm dimension, making them compatible with most standard laboratory centrifuge systems and venous blood collection equipment.

What does the closure design signify?

The pull cap features a distinct gold color with a black ring. This specific color coding is a functional design element to help laboratory technicians quickly identify the tube type and its intended use.

Are there specific handling requirements for these tubes?

These tubes are intended for professional use only. To achieve the optimal serum-clot separation, they must be used in conjunction with standard centrifugation protocols following your laboratory’s specific specimen processing guidelines.
