VACUETTE® Z Serum Sep Clot Activator Venous Blood Collection Tube Clot Activator / Separator Gel Additive 8 mL Pull Cap Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Tube

The VACUETTE serum separator venous blood collection tube is a sterile 8 mL blood collection tube for serum sample collection and processing. It fits lab and clinical workflows that need a clot activator with separator gel to help separate serum from fibrin and cells during centrifugation. This version uses a pull cap and a clear PET tube in a 16 x 100 mm size.

Good Fit For

• Venous blood collection for serum samples
• Laboratory centrifugation workflows
• Clinical settings that use 16 x 100 mm serum tubes
• Buyers standardizing on clot activator and separator gel tubes

Key Features

• Clot activator and separator gel additive supports serum collection and separation
• Separator gel migrates during centrifugation to form a stable barrier between serum and clot
• 8 mL tube size suits routine venous blood collection workflows
• 16 x 100 mm format helps buyers match existing tube size requirements
• Clear, silica-coated PET tube offers a plastic tube option for laboratory use
• Pull cap closure uses a red cap with yellow ring for quick visual identification

Applications and Usage

• Collecting venous blood when a serum separator tube is required
• Processing blood samples that will be centrifuged for serum separation
• Separating serum from fibrin and cells after centrifugation
• Supporting lab workflows that use color-coded pull cap collection tubes

Packaging and Handling
