Serum Separation Tubes
- Coated with ultrasonically spray-dried microscopic silica particles which activate blood clotting.
- Contain an inert polymer gel that separates the serum from the blood clot during centrifugation, preventing contamination of the serum.
- Gently mix the blood collection tube by inverting 5-6 times immediately to activate clotting after blood drawing.
- Allow the tube to stand for 30 minutes or until the clot is formed before centrifuging.
- Centrifugation: 1800-2200 g for 8-15 minutes at 18-25° C.
