What is the 4ml Gel Activator Blood Collection Tube (SST)?
These 4ml evacuated blood collection tubes contain a clot activator and inert separation gel for clean serum separation in clinical chemistry, serology and immunology testing. Blood clots inside the tube and, during centrifugation, the gel forms a stable barrier between the clot and the serum, allowing prolonged sample stability and clean aspiration. Colour-coded yellow caps and printed sample-type labels support correct tube selection at the point of phlebotomy. KRIMS Meditech Solutions Limited supplies these tubes in bulk with cold-chain-independent storage and full after-sales support.
What is it used for?
Venous blood collection for serum-based testing — clinical chemistry panels, serology, immunology and hormone assays.
Clinical and operational benefits
Gel barrier delivers clean, haemolysis-free serum aspiration; colour-coded caps reduce pre-analytical tube-selection errors.
