Non-Vacuum SST Tube / Clot Activator & Gel for Serum Separation

Product Name: Non-Vacuum Serum Separator Tube (Manual Fill SST)

Description:

Our Non-Vacuum Serum Separator Tube (SST) is designed for laboratories and settings requiring flexible, manual blood sample preparation. Unlike standard evacuated tubes, this tube does not contain a pre-set vacuum. It is intended to be filled manually using a syringe transfer or from other primary collection devices.

The tube contains the same essential components as our standard SST: a **silica-based clot activator** and a patented **inert polymer gel barrier**. This allows users to decant or transfer blood into the tube, enabling precise volume control for specialized tests, aliquot preparation, or when the standard vacuum draw volume is not suitable.

Key Features & Benefits:

Manual Fill Flexibility: Enables precise control over sample volume, ideal for pediatric draws, specific test requirements, or creating aliquots from larger samples.

Standard SST Performance: Contains the same trusted clot activator and separation gel as vacuum SSTs, ensuring rapid clotting and a stable barrier for high-purity serum.

Syringe Transfer Compatible: Perfect for safe and easy blood transfer from a syringe or other collection systems, minimizing exposure risk.

Aliquot Preparation: Excellent for dividing a single blood draw into multiple serum samples for different tests or storage.

Clear Identification: Standard red-colored stopper ensures immediate recognition as a serum separation tube within the laboratory workflow.

Intended Use:

This tube is intended for the manual transfer of venous blood for serum preparation. It is used when controlled sample volume or non-vacuum collection is required.

Primary Applications Include:
Syringe Transfer: When blood is initially collected via a syringe and needs to be transferred to an SST for serum separation.
Volume-Specific Testing: For tests requiring a precise, non-standard blood volume not offered by pre-vacuumed tubes.
Aliquotting: To create multiple serum samples from a single collection (e.g., from a larger vacuum tube or blood bag).
Specialized Protocols: Useful in research or specialized diagnostic protocols that involve manual sample handling steps.
Note: It is NOT for direct venipuncture. Users must ensure proper mixing after filling.
