What capacities are available?
The current product range includes 1 mL, 2 mL, 5 mL and 10 mL vacuum blood collection tubes.

What tube types are available?
Available configurations include clot activator tubes, anticoagulant tubes and plain no-additive tubes.

What is an anticoagulant tube used for?
An anticoagulant tube is designed to reduce blood clotting so that whole blood or plasma can be prepared for applicable veterinary laboratory tests.

What is a clot activator tube used for?
A clot activator tube promotes controlled clot formation and is typically selected when a serum specimen is required.

What is a no-additive tube?
A no-additive tube does not contain an anticoagulant or clot activator and is selected according to the required laboratory procedure.

Which anticoagulants are available?
Common industry options include EDTA, heparin and sodium citrate. The exact additive and concentration should be confirmed according to the required test before ordering.

Are cap colors standardized?
Color-coded caps are commonly used to identify different additives, but the exact color system should be confirmed for the ordered product and target market.

Which animals can the tubes be used for?
They are suitable for cattle, pigs, sheep, goats and other animals when the collection volume and tube type match the veterinary testing protocol.

What information is required for a quotation?
