Description
The innovative VACUETTE® blood collection tubes made from practically unbreakable plastic have become well established on the market. They have made the drawing of blood a safer and more hygienic process. The use of PET plastic offers the advantage that the tubes are as clear as glass. Greiner Bio-One offers a full range of vacuum blood collection tubes, from clotting tubes, serum and EDTA tubes to various specialist products.
Most VACUETTE® blood collection tubes contain chemical additives which, in combination with the precisely coordinated vacuum, guarantee the correct mixing ratio to the drawn blood. Reliable results and simple use make VACUETTE® “the” primary tube for all popular analysers. All tubes naturally bear the CE mark. Products that are also produced or marketed in the United States of America are approved by the F.D.A. US health administration.
