The AXITUBE Sodium Citrate 3.2% Non-Vacuum Tubes are specifically engineered for precise coagulation analysis, including PT and APTT testing. These tubes contain a buffered sodium citrate solution at a concentration of 0.109 mol/L (3.2%), maintaining the ideal 1:9 ratio of citrate to blood. Designed for manual collection techniques, these non-vacuum tubes provide clinicians with full control over the draw volume. The high-clarity plastic construction and secure leak-proof caps ensure sample integrity during transport and centrifugation.
Key Features
-
Optimal Coagulation Ratio: Prefilled with 3.2% sodium citrate to ensure the standard 1:9 additive-to-blood ratio required for accurate lab results.
-
Non-Vacuum Design: Ideal for specialized clinical settings or manual blood collection where vacuum pressure is not desired.
-
High-Clarity PET Plastic: Shatter-resistant material allows for easy visual inspection of the sample and the “fill-to” line.
-
Secure Color-Coded Caps: Features the industry-standard Blue Cap for instant identification in busy laboratory environments.
-
Leak-Proof Performance: Precision-engineered screw or plug caps prevent aerosol formation and accidental spills.
