MiniCollect^® Capillary Blood Collection System

MiniCollect^® offers a gentle way to collect small blood samples for a wide range of analyses. The system is perfectly suited for young children, geriatric patients as well as patients with fragile veins. MiniCollect^® is also recommended in situations where venous blood collection proves particulary difficult, such as for patients with extensive burns.

Perfect for capillary blood collection. The tubes have a pierceable stop and can be included in the modern automatic tracks.
MiniCollect^® is the ideal system for collecting, transporting and processing capillary blood.

The advantages for preanalytics and analytics:

• Optimal mixing of the sample with the additive due to the increased diameter of the tube.
• Minimal adhesion as the blood can be easily transferred through the wide opening.
• The integrated blood collection scoop allows the sample to be collected quickly and easily in the tube.
• Leakproof caps ensure safe transport of the collection including via pneumatic post.
• The audible click of the cap on closing serves as an acoustic check and signals that the tube is sealed tightly.
• Minimal accessories required due to the integrated scoop to collect the sample. No additional capillary or funnel is necessary.
• Transparent, colour-coded label.
• Filling volume ranges on one tube allow greater flexibility of use.

MiniCollect^® Complete tubes are the same MiniCollect^® standard tubes, but pre-mounted in a carrier tube of 13 x 75 mm.

The practical "complete solution" offers the following advantages:

• Not always necessary to change the settings of analysis instruments, in many cases both venous and capillary blood samples can be analyzed in the same way.
• Fit into 13 x 75 mm racks, these can be directly inserted into the analyzer without needing to change the settings or reinsert into other racks.
• Identification with standard label formats possible.
• Do not require a separate centrifuge. Due to the 13 x 75 mm dimensions the tubes can be processed in a standard centrifuge.

• Easy activation by pressing on the puncture site.
• Comfortable grip feeling due to ergonomically rounded design.
• Precise placement made possible by rounded contact area.

• Button activated.
• Controllable alignment of blade / needle during penetration.
