Sample collection tubes
Tuesday, 16 September, 2008
Many non-routine tests and applications which require the collection of blood or other body fluids, also require the use of special anti-coagulant or proteinase inhibitor cocktails to preserve the integrity of the sample. The SCAT (Sample Collection/Anticoagulant Tubes) series of collection tubes produced by Haematologic Technologies were developed specifically to minimise in vitro artifact by rapidly quenching unwanted protease activity. The tubes are evacuated and stoppered under controlled conditions so that the tubes will automatically fill to the correct volume. Veterinary use of the 2ml draw, diatomaceous earth tubes is also popular. United Bioresearch Products Tel: (02) 9651 3736
