Speed of plasma with the quality of serum.

Vacutainer[RRapid Serum Tubes (RST) are designed to provide high-quality blood serum specimens for patient diagnosis. This blood collection tube is designed to rapidly analyze blood serum in order to quickly determine a patient's diagnosis. With five-minute clotting time and as little as three-minute centrifugation time (4,000 g), the product offers turnaround-time saylugs of up to 32 minutes. This time savings can help facilities significantly improve patient throughput, espe-CE cially in places like emergency rooms where decisions SA to admit patients are often guided by blood test results. According to BD data on file, clinical testing on its Vacutainer RST tubes has demonstrated a 59% relative reduction in hemolysis and a 59% relative decrease in fibrin strands compared to standard serum separator tubes.
