Product Description
K3 EDTA Anticoagulant:
These non-vacuum tubes are equipped with precise quantities of K3 EDTA, a trusted anticoagulant. It efficiently prevents blood from clotting, ensuring that your samples remain in a liquid state, preserving their integrity for accurate analysis and testing.
Efficient Sample Preservation:
The K3 EDTA additive facilitates the preservation of cell morphology and cellular components, ensuring that the samples remain stable for a variety of hematological tests and analyses. This feature is essential for laboratories and healthcare facilities conducting comprehensive diagnostic assessments.
Designed for Optimum Safety and PrecisionCrafted from medical-grade materials and featuring robust breakage resistance, these blood test tubes are pyrogen-free, biocompatible, and sterile. Advanced manufacturing processes like gamma irradiation or EO sterilization guarantee minimized contamination risk. The tubes are designed to support accurate sample collection, reliable sample preservation, and easy handling in high-demand clinical environments.
Versatile Additive Options for Accurate TestingOur test tubes come with several additive options-including Plain, EDTA, Citrate, Clot Activator, and Fluoride-enabling seamless adaptation to diverse diagnostic requirements. Each cap is color-coded according to its additive, ensuring precise identification and reducing errors during sample processing, which is essential for laboratories and research centers handling a variety of blood tests.
Regulatory Compliance and Ease of UseFully CE marked and ISO certified, these blood test tubes meet stringent international quality and safety standards. Designed for single-use, they are lightweight, highly portable, and equipped with clear volume graduation markings. With an 18-24 month shelf life, these tubes are ideal for distributors, exporters, importers, manufacturers, suppliers, and traders across India.
FAQ's of Blood Test Tube:
Q: How do I select the right additive type for my blood test tube?
A: The choice of additive depends on the specific diagnostic test. For instance, EDTA is commonly used for hematology tests, Citrate for coagulation studies, Clot Activator for serum analysis, and Fluoride for glucose measurement. The color-coded caps assist in quick and accurate selection as per the test requirement.
Q: What is the difference between vacuum and non-vacuum blood test tubes?
A: Vacuum tubes are pre-evacuated and draw a pre-determined volume of blood automatically, providing convenience and accuracy, especially in clinical settings requiring multiple samples. Non-vacuum tubes rely on manual filling and are suitable for specialized or smaller-scale uses.
Q: Where should these blood test tubes be stored to maintain sterility?
A: For optimal preservation and safety, the tubes must be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps maintain both sterility and the integrity of additives within the tubes throughout their 18-24 month shelf life.
Q: When is it appropriate to use screw cap versus snap cap blood test tubes?
A: Screw cap tubes provide a secure, leak-proof seal and are ideal for transporting samples over long distances. Snap cap tubes offer quick access for immediate processing within laboratory environments. Both cap types are color-coded according to the additive for easy identification.
Q: What ensures the safety and reliability of these blood test tubes during usage?
A: The tubes are manufactured from either borosilicate glass or medical-grade plastic, making them highly resistant to breakage. They are also non-toxic, pyrogen-free, and undergo rigorous sterilization (gamma irradiation or EO) for uncompromised safety during blood collection and transportation.
Q: How should the tubes be used during sample collection?
A: Use only for single blood collection. Select the correct additive and cap type, ensure the tube is within its expiration date, and follow proper aseptic technique to maintain sample integrity and avoid contamination.
Q: What are the main benefits of using these color-coded and certified blood test tubes?
A: These tubes streamline sample identification, reduce error risks, and offer reliable performance under various testing conditions. Being CE marked and ISO certified, they meet international safety and quality standards, making them suitable for a wide array of healthcare and research applications.
