• 13x75 mm plastic tube with penetrable color-coded cap for automated processes
• Lavender cap makes tube type easier to identify during handling

Applications and Usage

• Collecting capillary blood specimens from skin puncture samples
• Transporting low-volume blood samples after collection
• Supporting automated processing in laboratory workflows
• Using fill marks to monitor 250 µL, 375 µL, or 500 µL collection targets

Packaging and Handling

• Packaging: BX.
• Size: 13x75 mm.
• Material: Plastic.
• Sterility: Sterile.
• This tube is intended for capillary skin puncture samples rather than larger-volume collection needs.
