What Is the Gel Inside Serum Separation Blood Collection Tubes?
I. What Is Serum Separation Gel?
Serum separation gel is very important in the medical field and plays a key role in the collection and processing of blood samples.
Clinical laboratories require different blood components for various biochemical tests.
While some tests need serum or plasma, separation gel forms an isolating barrier between serum/plasma and blood cells after tube centrifugation, separating whole blood into high-quality serum or plasma for clinical diagnosis.
II. Application Scenarios of Serum Separation Gel
Serum separation gel blood tubes with yellow or golden caps are most widely used in hospitals, added with clot activator and serum separation gel.
Centrifuge the blood after complete clotting, and contents inside the tube will separate into layers.
The separation gel layer forms a barrier between blood cells and serum/plasma to avoid interference and support long-term sample storage.
These tubes are widely used in hospitals, clinical laboratories, scientific research institutions, etc.
III. Precautions
- After blood collection, slightly shake the tube upside down 3 to 5 times to ensure full contact between clot activator and blood. Avoid strong shaking to prevent hemolysis.
- Centrifugation after complete blood clotting. Otherwise, the serum will appear unclear with fibrin filaments.
- Keep away from high temperature and humid situation.
- Recommended storage:stable and dry environment at 20–25℃ to prevent affect clotting performance.
