0.5ml Micro Blood Collection Tubes with Colored Gel for Clinical Diagnostics and 24-36 Months Shelf Life

Product Description

1. A comprehensive line of 0.5ml micro blood collection tubes featuring assorted additives and formulations, designed for small-volume blood sampling in clinical and laboratory settings. This range includes EDTA tubes (for hematology), color-coded gel tubes (red/green/purple, for serum/plasma separation), clot activator tubes (accelerating coagulation), additive-free tubes (preserving native blood), and heparin tubes (for plasma-based assays)—all optimized for minimal sample volume (0.5ml) while maintaining sample integrity.
2. These disposable 0.5ml micro tubes cater to diverse testing needs, with each variant engineered to stabilize specific blood components: EDTA for cell preservation, gel for efficient phase separation, clot activators for rapid serum preparation, additive-free for unaltered samples, and heparin for anticoagulation. Their compact size makes them ideal for scenarios where blood volume is limited (e.g., pediatric or geriatric patients).

1. Micro-Volume Efficiency: 0.5ml capacity minimizes blood draw volume, reducing patient discomfort—especially critical for pediatric, neonatal, or frail adult samples.
2. Assorted Additive Formulations:
   • EDTA: K2/K3 EDTA anticoagulant preserves cellular morphology for CBC and hematology tests.
   • Color-coded gel (red/green/purple): Density-gradient gel separates serum/plasma from cells during centrifugation, preventing re-mixing.

Applications

1. Pediatric and neonatal blood testing (e.g., routine CBC, metabolic panels) where small sample volumes are required.
2. Geriatric or oncology patients with limited venous access, needing minimal blood draws.
3. Specialized assays: hematology (EDTA), serum chemistry (clot activator/gel), plasma testing (heparin), and additive-sensitive analyses (additive-free).
4. Point-of-care testing (POCT), research laboratories, and clinics focused on low-volume, high-precision diagnostics.

Packaging & Shipping)

1. Primary Packaging: Each tube is individually wrapped in sterile, peelable pouches (for additive-free/sterile variants) or bulk-packed in anti-static trays (for non-sterile variants) to prevent damage.
2. Secondary Packaging: Tubes are grouped by additive type into rigid plastic trays (50–100 tubes per tray) with foam dividers; trays are labeled with additive type, color code, and volume.
3. Master Cartons: Trays are packed into corrugated cartons with shock-absorbent padding, featuring clear labeling of contents (e.g., "0.5ml Micro EDTA Tubes – Purple Cap"), lot number, expiration date, and storage conditions.
4. Storage Conditions: Store at 15–30°C in a dry environment; avoid freezing or direct sunlight. Shelf life: 24–36 months (varies by additive) from manufacture when unopened.
