Supplied in a pack of 50, these compact tubes are suitable for professional healthcare and laboratory environments where smaller specimen volumes are required.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach tube contains lithium heparin together with a separating gel for the preparation of plasma specimens. Following appropriate centrifugation, the separating gel provides a physical barrier between the plasma and cellular components of the collected blood sample.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA practical fill-level marking is incorporated into the tube design to help users collect the appropriate volume of blood. This supports the correct ratio between the blood specimen and the additive contained within the tube, an important consideration when working with small-volume samples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BD Microtainer® format is designed for convenient collection and handling of smaller blood specimens. The tubes can be used for capillary or venous blood collection where appropriate and should be incorporated into established collection and laboratory procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor laboratories requiring centrifugation of Microtainer® samples, compatible tube extenders are available separately. These extenders allow the smaller Microtainer® format to be accommodated within equipment designed for standard 13mm x 75mm tube racks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePack quantity: 50 tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBD Microtainer® plasma tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLithium heparin additive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparating gel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for small-volume blood collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for capillary or venous blood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical fill-level marking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports the correct blood-to-additive ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible tube extenders available separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBD Microtainer® Plasma Tubes should be collected, mixed, centrifuged and processed according to the manufacturer's instructions and applicable laboratory procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt UKMEDI, we supply a wide range of high-quality medical, healthcare, and hygiene products to customers across the UK.
