Description

Here's a detailed product description for "LT-CLOT SC" in Markdown format, assuming "SC" stands for "Serum Clot" or "Serum Collection" with a clot activator, often accompanied by a separator gel for optimal serum yield.

LT-CLOT SC: Advanced Serum Clot Activator Tube

Rapid Serum Separation for Uncompromised Diagnostic Accuracy

The LT-CLOT SC is a premium blood collection tube specifically engineered to streamline the process of obtaining high-quality serum samples. Designed for efficiency and diagnostic integrity, it's an indispensable tool in clinical laboratories, research facilities, and medical practices requiring rapid and reliable serum separation for a wide array of diagnostic tests.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Optimized Clot Activation:
  • Contains a unique inert clot activator (micronized silica particles) uniformly coated on the inner surface of the tube.
  • Accelerates the natural clotting cascade, ensuring complete clot formation within a standard 10-20 minute period.
  • Significantly reduces pre-centrifugation wait times, enhancing laboratory throughput.
• Superior Serum Yield with Gel Separation:
  • Features an inert thixotropic gel barrier that, after centrifugation, forms a stable, physical separation between the clotted blood cells and the serum.
  • Maximizes serum recovery by preventing re-mixing of serum with cellular components and fibrin strands.
  • Provides a clean, clear serum sample ideal for downstream analysis, free from cellular contamination.
• Reduced Hemolysis:
  • The smooth inner surface and gentle clot activation process are designed to minimize shear stress on red blood cells during collection and processing.
  • Helps preserve sample integrity by significantly reducing the risk of hemolysis, which can interfere with numerous assays.
• Medical-Grade Construction:
  • Manufactured from high-quality, transparent, shatter-resistant PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) plastic, offering excellent clarity and safety compared to glass tubes.
  • The tube material ensures a long shelf life and maintains the vacuum integrity throughout storage.
  • Features a latex-free butyl rubber stopper (available in various colors for easy identification, e.g., red or gold) ensuring a secure seal and safe, easy opening.
• Wide Range of Applications:
  • Ideal for a broad spectrum of clinical chemistry tests, serology, immunology, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), protein electrophoresis, endocrinology, and more.
  • The consistent high-quality serum produced by LT-CLOT SC is suitable for both automated and manual analytical platforms.
• Clear & Accurate Labeling:
  • Each tube is clearly labeled with lot number, expiration date, fill line, and volume, ensuring proper sample handling and traceability.
  • Complies with international standards for labeling, including CE and ISO markings.
• Sterile & Safe:
  • Sterilized by gamma irradiation to ensure aseptic collection conditions.
  • The secure stopper design minimizes the risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens for healthcare professionals.

How It Works:

1. Blood Collection: Blood is drawn directly into the LT-CLOT SC tube. The precise vacuum ensures the correct draw volume.
2. Clotting: The blood comes into contact with the silica clot activator particles, initiating and accelerating the coagulation process. Allow the tube to stand upright for 10-20 minutes at room temperature for complete clotting.
3. Centrifugation: The tube is then centrifuged at recommended speeds (e.g., 1000-1300 RCF for 10 minutes). During centrifugation, the thixotropic gel migrates to form a stable barrier between the heavier blood cells/clot and the lighter serum.
4. Serum Aspiration: The clear serum can then be safely aspirated or poured off without disturbing the cellular components, ready for immediate analysis or storage.

Ideal Applications:

• Clinical Chemistry: Glucose, BUN, Creatinine, Electrolytes, Liver Function Tests, Cardiac Markers, etc.
• Serology: Antibody testing, infectious disease screening.
• Immunology: Autoimmune markers, protein analysis.
• Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM): Measurement of drug levels in blood.
• Endocrinology: Hormone level analysis.
• Tumor Markers: Detection and monitoring of various cancer markers.
