Vacutainer Plasma Preparation Tubes for Reliable Plasma Separation
The BD Vacutainer PPT is a plasma preparation tube (PPT) designed for high-quality plasma separation and preservation. It contains an integrated gel barrier for plasma separation and a K2EDTA additive for anticoagulation, ensuring undiluted plasma samples ideal for molecular diagnostic testing. Upon centrifugation, the PPT Vacutainer Tube's gel barrier effectively isolates plasma from cellular components, preventing contamination and ensuring sample stability. Unlike tubes with liquid additives, the spray-dried K2EDTA in this gel and K2EDTA blood tube ensures plasma purity while maintaining cell-free separation for extended storage and processing. This is a closed-system blood sample preparation device, reducing the risk of transfer-related injuries.
Enhanced Lab and Personnel Safety
The Vacutainer PPT tubes feature a Hemogard closure, which consists of a rubber inner stopper and an outer protective cap. This innovative design protects lab personnel from accidental exposure to bloodborne pathogens, making the Vacutainer tubes a safer alternative to conventional stoppers. Made from shatter-resistant plastic, the BD Vacutainer PPT Plasma Preparation Tubes help minimize the risk of breakage-related injuries.
