EDTA Gel Tube for Molecular Testing

Product Highlights

• EDTA anticoagulant with separator gel
• Plasma-preparation design, distinct from serum gel tubes
• Transparent PET tube configurations

Structure & Functional Design

EDTA prevents coagulation, while separator gel forms a physical barrier during the specified centrifugation procedure. This combination is used for plasma preparation rather than serum preparation. The transparent PET body supports visual inspection of the sample and separated layers.

Applications

For molecular laboratory methods that have validated EDTA plasma and the specified gel tube. Confirm extraction, transport, storage and assay requirements for the intended workflow.

Technical Specifications

Ordering Information

Specify the additive, tube material, dimensions, required draw volume and order quantity. Each table row shows the corresponding size, capacity and packing combination. Request the item specification, labeling details and supplied instructions with the quotation.

Handling & Storage

• For use by trained personnel. Check the tube identity, packaging integrity and expiry information before use.
• Follow the supplied collection, mixing and processing instructions. Fill to the specified volume; use the validated clotting and centrifugation conditions where applicable.
• Keep unused tubes in their original packaging under the labeled storage conditions. Follow the assay-specific limits for specimen transport and storage.
• Handle used tubes and blood specimens as potentially infectious and dispose of them according to laboratory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this differ from the serum separator gel tube?

This tube uses EDTA to prevent coagulation and prepares plasma. The serum separator gel tube uses a clot activator and prepares serum after clot formation.

How should the tube be matched to a molecular assay?

Confirm that the extraction and testing method accepts the selected EDTA plasma and gel formulation. Follow the supplied processing, transport and storage instructions.
