The Vacuum Blood Collection Tube Red 4ml (13×75mm, Pack of 100) supplied by IBEX SCIENCES is a standard medical-grade diagnostic vial engineered for serum collection in clinical biochemistry, immunology, and serology laboratories. [1]
Recognized worldwide by its red color-coded cap, this tube is a staple for blood sample preservation where clean, unseparated serum is required.
Key Product Specifications
-
- Additive / Anticoagulant: These are Plain / Clot Activator tubes. The interior wall is typically coated with micronized silica particles that act as a clot activator to accelerate the natural coagulation process, leaving the blood completely free of any anticoagulants (like EDTA or Heparin). [1, 2]
- Dimensions & Volume: Features standard 13×75mm dimensions, precision-calibrated with a reliable vacuum pull to draw exactly 4ml of whole blood. [1]
- Packaging Configuration: Shipped as a laboratory-ready pack containing 100 pieces per box. [1, 2]
- Material Integrity: Constructed using high-clarity, shatter-resistant PET plastic or medical-grade glass, sealed tightly with a safety rubber stopper to prevent aerosol leaks during uncapping.
Primary Clinical Applications
Because it contains no gel barrier or liquid anticoagulants, the resulting serum is ideal for demanding tests where chemical interference must be completely avoided:
-
- Clinical Chemistry: Blood glucose testing, cholesterol and lipid profiles, liver and kidney function tests, and electrolyte panels.
- Serology & Immunology: Infectious disease testing, antibody titters, and rheumatoid factor diagnostics.
- Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM): Monitoring drug levels in a patient’s bloodstream without the risk of the drug being absorbed by a separation gel. [1]
Proper Handling Protocol
Immediately after filling, the tube should be gently inverted 5 to 8 times to thoroughly mix the blood with the spray-coated clot activator. The tube must then be left to stand upright for 30 minutes to allow a complete clot to form before being placed into a centrifuge. Do not shake the tube vigorously, as this will cause hemolysis and ruin the specimen. [1]
