Micro Blood Collection Tube PP 0.5 / 1 mL Neonatal Capillary Sampling

Micro Blood Collection Tube PP 0.5 / 1 mL Neonatal Capillary Sampling

Product Overview

Micro Blood Collection Tubes are designed for blood sampling when conventional venous collection is difficult or when only a small specimen volume is available. They are suitable for newborns, infants, ICU patients with fragile veins and patients with severe burns who may not be suitable for routine venous blood collection. Made from PP, the standard micro tubes are non-vacuum tubes and use a collection principle consistent with vacuum blood collection tubes of the corresponding type. Available with different additives and cap colors, they provide flexible options for hematology, plasma and serum sample preparation.
