Frequently asked questions
Why is plasma obtained with BD Vacutainer PPT undiluted?
The tube uses spray-dried K2EDTA rather than liquid additives. This technique prevents any plasma dilution, which is essential for the accuracy of molecular diagnostic tests.
How does plasma separation work in this tube?
After centrifugation, the inert gel contained in the tube migrates to create a stable physical barrier between the plasma and blood cellular components. The plasma remains thus isolated and directly accessible in the collection tube.
For which types of analyses is the BD Vacutainer PPT recommended?
This tube is specifically designed for molecular diagnostic tests requiring high-quality EDTA plasma. It allows working in a closed system, reducing contamination risks during sample handling.
