BD Vacutainer® CPT™ Mononuclear Cell Preparation Tube - Sodium Heparin
The BD Vacutainer® CPT™ with sodium heparin is a blood collection tube allowing the separation of mononuclear cells directly in the collection tube. This closed system integrates a density medium and a gel barrier which, after centrifugation, isolates lymphocytes and monocytes from whole blood, simplifying the cell isolation process for in vitro diagnostic analyses.

Frequently asked questions
How does mononuclear cell separation work with the BD Vacutainer® CPT™?
Blood is collected directly into the tube, then processed by centrifugation. The integrated gel then forms a physical barrier that separates mononuclear cells (suspended in plasma) from erythrocytes and granulocytes located beneath the gel.
What is the difference between the sodium heparin and sodium citrate versions of the BD Vacutainer® CPT™?
The difference lies in the anticoagulant used. This version contains sodium heparin. The choice of anticoagulant depends on the specific requirements of the diagnostic analysis planned and laboratory protocols.
Can mononuclear cells be transported in the CPT™ tube after separation?
Yes, after centrifugation, concentrated mononuclear cells in plasma can be safely transported in the original collection tube to the analysis site for in vitro diagnostic examinations.
