BD Vacutainer SST Advance Tube 3.5ml (Box of 50)

Description

The BD Vacutainer® SST™ II Advance tubes are designed for coagulation studies and clinical chemistry applications. These high-quality PET tubes are available in various sizes and are easily identified by their gold cap. Each tube contains an inert gel barrier that separates the serum from the blood clot during centrifugation, preventing cross-contamination. This is crucial for accurate test results, as analytes like potassium, phosphorus, and glucose need to be separated from the blood cells within hours of collection to avoid skewed results. With BD SST™ II Advance tubes, routine clinical chemistry analytes such as potassium remain stable even after a week of storage at 2-8ºC. Additionally, special chemistries, including therapeutic drugs, proteins, peptides, steroids, and vitamins, show high stability in these tubes. Specifications:
