Detail
Blood collection tubes are used in medical laboratories for reliable and high-quality blood collection to provide precise results. The tubes are used to collect blood samples directly from the vein. They are made from PET or tempered glass, and come in a variety of volumes and types with a plain or stopper cap. Each tube has a colored cap, and each cup has a different color with a specific code to indicate the additive that is contained in the tube. The blood collection tubes contain high-quality additives that help separate blood cells, plasma, and serum.
The tube can be changed while the needle and plastic holder is still in place on the patient’s arm.
Blood Collection Tubes come in a variety of types that all serve as different types of tests. The basic metabolic panel measures elements in the blood in order to detect organ problems and diabetes. Blood count is measured in order to diagnose blood cancer, diseases, and other medical conditions, as well as to monitor treatment. The fibrinogen test can predetermine one’s risk of heart disease and stroke. Blood Collection Tubes can also test for STDs.
