Gel+Clot Activator

A Gel + Clot Activator blood tube is a specialized blood collection tube that combines both a clot activator and a gel separator within the tube. The gel separator, typically made of silicone or polymer material, forms a barrier between the serum or plasma and the formed elements of blood, allowing for easy and efficient separation during centrifugation.

Description of Gel+Clot Activator

Contains both a clot activator and a gel separator within the tube.
Typically has a gold or tiger-top stopper to indicate the presence of a clot activator.
The gel separator forms a distinct layer between serum/plasma and blood cells.
Available in various sizes to accommodate different blood sample volumes.
Allows for simultaneous processing of serum or plasma separation and clot activation.

Use of Gel+Clot Activator

Facilitates rapid clotting of blood samples for quick serum separation.
Enables efficient processing by providing clear separation of serum or plasma from blood cells.
Suitable for tests requiring serum or plasma, such as chemistry panels and hormone assays.
Minimizes the risk of cellular contamination in the separated serum or plasma sample.
Helps maintain sample integrity and ensures the quality of test results.
The Gel + Clot Activator blood tube serves as a valuable tool in the pathology lab for simultaneous clot activation and serum or plasma separation. Its innovative design with the combination of a clot activator and gel separator streamlines the blood collection process, ensures efficient specimen processing, and produces high-quality serum or plasma samples for diagnostic testing.
