BD Vacutainer SST II Advance Gold 3.5ml Tubes

BD Vacutainer SST II Advance Gold 3.5ml Tubes | Product Description

The BD Vacutainer® SST™ II Advance blood collection tubes are used for coagulation studies. The PET tubes are available in a range of size and can be identified by a Gold cap.

These tubes contain an inert gel barrier that separates the serum from the blood clot during centrifugation, preventing contamination of the serum. For example, in serum certain analytes such as potassium, phosphorus and glucose should be separated from the cells within a few hours - otherwise the results will be significantly impacted. Using BD SST™ II Advance tubes, routine analytes in clinical chemistry such as potassium are still stable after a week of storage at 2-8ºC. Clinical evaluation of special chemistries such as therapeutic drugs, proteins, peptides, steroids and vitamins demonstrates a high degree of stability within the BD SST™ II Advance.
