BD Vacutainer Advance Tube 8,5 ml Yellow 100 pcs/box

BD Vacutainer® SS II Advance Tubes
These tubes contain a gel barrier that separates the serum from the blood clot following centrifugation, preventing contamination of the serum. For example, in serum certain analytes such as potassium, phosphorus and glucose should be separated from the cells within a short time period - otherwise the results will be significantly impacted. Clinical evaluation of special chemistries such as therapeutic drugs, proteins, peptides, steroids and vitamins demonstrates a high degree of stability within the BD SS II Advance.The main advantages of gel tubes versus non-gel tubes are:

• Stable barrier between serum and clotted blood during transportation and storage, leading to better analyte stability.
• Better sample quality.
• Workflow optimisation: short centrifugation time, sample processing and archiving in the primary tube.
• No requirement for secondary tubes, reducing the possibility of misidentification.
