Tube BD Vacutainer 362795 PPT 5ML 13X100 C E 100pc
The BD Vacutainer® PPT™ is a blood collection tube designed for the preparation and storage of plasma intended for molecular diagnostic testing. Thanks to its separator gel and K2EDTA anticoagulant spray-dried, this closed system allows obtaining undiluted EDTA plasma directly in the collection tube, without additional manipulation.

Frequently asked questions
Why is plasma obtained with BD Vacutainer PPT undiluted?
The tube uses spray-dried K2EDTA rather than a liquid anticoagulant. This technique prevents any dilution of the blood sample, guaranteeing native concentration plasma for accurate analytical results.
How does plasma separation work in this tube?
After centrifugation of the filled tube, the inert gel contained within migrates and creates a stable physical barrier between the plasma and cellular elements. This separation allows plasma to be stored and handled without risk of contamination from blood cells.
Is the BD Vacutainer PPT suitable for PCR tests and other molecular analyses?
Yes, this tube is specifically designed for molecular diagnostic testing. The tube's sterility, the quality of undiluted plasma, and efficient cell separation make it an appropriate choice for sensitive techniques such as PCR.
