Accuvet Vacuum Tubes
Dry
A collection tube without any additive, suitable for obtaining serum or as a transport tube.
Color code: WHITE
Size:
13 x 75 mm
Aspiration volume:
5 ml
Recommended centrifugation:
3600 rpm
Activator
A collection tube used for obtaining serum for biochemical, serological, and immunological routines. It contains silica as a clot activator.
Color code: RED
Size:
13 x 75 mm
Aspiration volume:
2 ml / 4 ml
Coagulation time:
If there is no coagulation dysfunction, 10 to 30 minutes
Sodium Citrate
A collection tube containing 3.2% sodium citrate. It is primarily used for coagulation tests, providing high precision in the blood-anticoagulant ratio.
Color code: BLUE
Size:
13 x 75 mm
Aspiration volume:
1,8 ml / 3,6 ml
Anticoagulane:
Sodium Citrate 3,2%
(liquid)
Edta
A tube used for hematological testing, containing EDTA as an anticoagulant to prevent cellular morphology alterations. It contains 15% EDTA K3 as the anticoagulant.
Color code: PURPLE
Size:
13 x 75 mm
Aspiration volume:
2 ml / 4 ml
Anticoagulant:
EDTA K3 15%
(dry spray)
Sodium Fluoride
A tube used for collecting samples for glucose determination, preventing the metabolism of sugar by red blood cells and leukocytes by inhibiting in vitro enzymes of the glycolytic pathway in these cells. It contains Sodium Fluoride as the anticoagulant.
Color code: GRAY
Size:
13 x 75 mm
Aspiration volume:
2 ml / 4 ml
Anticoagulant:
Sodium Fluoride
(powder)
Separator Gel
A tube used for obtaining serum samples, intended for biochemistry, serology, and immunology routines. It contains a clot activator and separator gel that prevents the exchange of substances between the serum and blood cells, allowing for higher quality serum.
Color code: YELLOW
Size:
13 x 75 mm
Aspiration volume:
3,5 ml
Recommended and maximum centrifugation speed:
3600 rpm
Activator Microtube
It has the same indications as larger vacuum tubes, but it is recommended for small animals, puppies, and/or neonates, where a smaller collection volume is required.
Color code: RED
Size:
10 x 45 mm
Aspiration volume:
0,5 ml
Coagulation time:
If there is no dysfunction in coagulation time, it should take 10 to 30 minutes
EDTA Microtube
It has the same indications as larger vacuum tubes, but it is recommended for small animals, puppies, and/or neonates, where a smaller collection volume is required. It contains 15% EDTA K3 as an anticoagulant.
Color code: PURPLE
Size:
10 x 45 mm
Aspiration volume:
0,5 ml
Anticoagulant-to-blood volume ratio:
9:1
