BD Vacutainer® PPT™ Plasma Preparation Tube with White Hemogard Closure 13 x 5ml – Box of 100

BD Vacutainer® PPT™ is a closed system allowing separation and storage of undiluted EDTA plasma in the primary blood collection tube. It is intended for the purposes of molecular diagnostic testing.

PPT™ is an evacuated, sterile blood collection tube that contains an inert gel and spray-dried K2EDTA anticoagulant for achieving plasma separation. When the sample-filled tube is subjected to centrifugation, the gel migrates and forms a physical barrier between the plasma and most of the cellular elements. Since the tube uses spray-dried K2EDTA as opposed to liquid additives, the plasma obtained is undiluted.
