Specimen Handling: Handle with Care

There’s nothing simple about sample testing. Smart planning and even smarter lab equipment, however, can deliver results that don’t require — dare we say it — retesting. 

 

We offer 2 types of Sterile Vacutainer^® blood tubes: 

 

Fluoride Blood Tubes – Tubes preserve the glucose in plasma for whole blood chemistry procedures such as blood sugar and diabetes testing. The package includes tubes and gray caps with Hemogard™ closure to protect from blood splatter when tubes are opened. 

 

SST^® Blood Tubes – Tubes separate serum and blood cells to complete blood chemistry tests including antigen/antibody testing. Package includes tubes and gold caps with Hemogard™ closure to protect from blood splatter when tubes are opened.

 

Packages of 100 or cases of 1,000 are available for each style. Plus, mess-free sample management is easy with half or full size racks that keep tubes upright and organized.
