Custom
Blood Collection Tubes FOR RESEARCH APPLICATIONS - MADE ON REQUEST
Many
clinical researchers have the need for sample collection tubes
with special cocktails
specific to their studies. However, finding commercial
sources and/or having
them manufactured on a custom basis is often associated with high
volume and cost
requirements. Therefore, in addition to our stock formulation
tubes Haematologic
Technologies can provide custom formulated tubes to meet your
specifications in
batch sizes as small as one. With an almost unlimited reagent
selection, custom draw
volumes, and customer-designated batch size you can get
your tubes the way you want, and in the exact quantity you need.
Haematologic
Technologies also offers OEM contract manufacturing of custom
tubes for those who
need a continuous supply for their process or product.
Tubes will be
manufactured to your specifications, on your time schedule, and
with all the
appropriate quality documentation. cGMP compliant production and
tube sterilization
services are available.

Blood Collection Tubes for research applications
Many
non-routine tests and applications which require the collection of
blood or other body fluids, also
require the use of special anti-coagulant or proteinase inhibitor
cocktails to preserve the integrity of the
sample. Good examples of such tests include the measurements of
Fibrinopeptide-A (FPA), Prothrombin
Fragment 1•2 (F1•2), Fibrinogen Degradation Products (FDP) and
the Thrombin/Antithrombin III
complex (TAT), all of which are highly influenced by persistent
protease activity in blood or plasma samples
(1-8). The SCAT series of collection tubes (Sample
Collection/Anticoagulant Tubes) were developed
specifically to minimize in vitro artifact by rapidly
quenching unwanted protease activity. SCAT
tubes are carefully formulated to yield a reproducible
concentration of inhibitors with rapid dissolution
properties. The tubes are evacuated and stoppered under controlled
conditions so that the tubes
will automatically fill to the proper volume.

SPECIAL
PRECAUTIONS
Although
the SCAT tubes may resemble a standard phlebotomy blood collection tube,
it should be noted that
these
tubes are NOT STERILE, and therefore should not be used as a
standard blood collection tube. Instead,
it is recommended that the technique used to collect
the sample (whether it be blood or
another fluid sample), be direct collection
into the SCAT tube through a catheter
of at least five inches, and equipped with a multi-sample luer
adapter (MSLA) to eliminate the possibility of a back-flush from the non-sterile
tube to the patient.
