Red top vacuum blood collection tubes are sterile, evacuated plastic tubes used to collect whole blood for serum separation. They are primarily used for clinical chemistry, immunology, serology, and blood bank testing.
Key Features and Specifications:
Additive: Coated with a clot activator to speed up coagulation.
Action: Allows blood to clot (typically 30–60 minutes) before centrifugation to separate serum.
Sample Type: Serum.
Common Uses: Routine chemistry, metabolic panels, and lipid profiles.
Serology/Immunology: Antibody tests, viral screenings (HIV, Hepatitis), and infectious disease testing.
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM): Measuring drug levels.
Volume Capacity: 6mL.
These tubes are essential for tests requiring liquid serum rather than plasma or whole blood.
