All tubes have a paper label.
Serum tubes
CAT serum fast separator
The Vacuette® CAT serum fast separator radically shortens the preanalytical process, with coagulation in 5 minutes. The total processing time is just 10 minutes, compared to 40 minutes with conventional serum tubes. The tube is coated with a mixture of blood clot activator and thrombin to enable rapid clotting.
- Shorter preanalytical process.
- Improved turnaround time.
- Blood collection can be performed shortly before transport of the blood samples.
- Quicker lab results with on-site analysis.
CAT serum tubes with clot activator
A special coating on the internal wall of the tubes containing microscopic silica particles activates clotting.
CAT serum tubes with sep clot activator
Vacuette® CAT serum sep clot activator tubes contain an inert separator gel on the base of the tube which, after centrifugation, forms a stable barrier between the serum and the blood clot. Vacuette® CAT serum sep clot activator tubes improve the serum yield and allow samples to be stored in primary tubes.
