Bertin Bioreagent sampling tubes with indomethacin

Bertin Bioreagent’s indomethacin sampling tubes are designed to be ready to use: just collect any samples in classical blood collection tubes and transfer 1 mL of sample into the tubes. The tubes are not intended to be used to directly collect blood — they are used to store samples after collection in classical blood sampling tubes.

Indomethacin is a cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor that prevents ex vivo thromboxane B₂ formation and other prostaglandins that cannot be prevented using anticoagulant alone. Samples must be transferred to the indomethacin sampling tubes as soon as possible after blood collection. The tubes are graduated, sealed with a silicone washer and external threads, and can be stored at -20°C.

Bertin Bioreagent’s sampling tubes with indomethacin are distributed in Australia and New Zealand by Sapphire Bioscience.
