Product Description: Gel & Clot Activator Tube by Orsin
Orsin's Gel & Clot Activator Tubes represent the next generation of serum collection technology, combining intelligent design with clinical reliability. The advanced formulation features a dual-action silica clot activator and proprietary thixotropic gel that delivers laboratory-ready serum in record time.
Key Innovations:
-
Smart Separation Technology: The gel barrier dynamically adjusts during centrifugation to create an absolute partition between serum and cellular components
-
Clinical-Grade Clotting: Silica-coated interior ensures complete clotting within 15-20 minutes for STAT testing
-
Enhanced Sample Integrity: Gel matrix remains stable across extreme temperatures (4-37°C)
Performance Advantages:
✓ 30% faster processing vs conventional tubes
✓ 99.9% cellular exclusion rate
✓ Zero cross-contamination between layers
Ideal for high-volume laboratories and precision medicine applications, these tubes are ISO 13485 certified and validated for use with all major automated platforms. The inert polymer construction ensures compatibility with sensitive analytes from therapeutic drugs to delicate biomarkers.
Available in:
-
Standard 13x75mm dimensions
-
2mL, 5mL, and 8mL draw volumes
-
Barcode-ready formats for LIMS integration
