Description

• Contain an inert gel barrier that separates the serum from the blood clot during centrifugation, preventing contamination of the serum.
• Stable barrier between serum and clotted blood during transportation and storage, leading to better analyte stability.
• Routine analytes in clinical chemistry such as potassium are still stable after a week of storage at 2-8°C.
• Clinical evaluation of special chemistries such as therapeutic drugs, proteins, peptides, steroids and vitamins demonstrates a high degree of stability.
• Enable faster centrifugation times of 5 minutes at 3000 g.
• Better sample quality.
• Optimization of the work flow: short centrifugation time, sample processing and archiving in the primary tube.
• No requirement for secondary tubes, reducing the possibility of misidentification.
• Minimum recommended clotting time is 30 minutes.
• Serum separation tubes should be gently inverted 180° and back 5-6 times.
