Prp Vacutainer Tubes

PocTell® PRP tubes typically contain a specific anticoagulant, often sodium citrate. This anticoagulant prevents the blood from clotting immediately after collection, allowing for the subsequent centrifugation process to separate platelets from other blood components. The carefully calibrated amount of anticoagulant ensures that the platelet function remains intact while inhibiting the clotting cascade.

Some PRP tubes may have additional substances or coatings. For example, certain tubes are designed to activate platelets gently during the centrifugation process or to stabilize the platelets in the concentrated PRP for better preservation of growth factors.

PocTell® PRP tubes are commonly made from high - quality glass or medical - grade plastic (such as PET). Glass tubes offer excellent chemical resistance and transparency, allowing for easy visualization of the blood sample and the separation process. Plastic tubes, on the other hand, are lightweight, shatter - resistant, and more suitable for some automated handling systems.

The internal surface of PRP tubes is often treated to reduce platelet adhesion and activation during the blood collection and centrifugation steps. A smooth and non - reactive surface helps maintain the integrity of the platelets and ensures a higher yield of functional PRP.

PocTell® PRP tubes come in specific volumes, usually ranging from a few milliliters to around 10 - 15 ml, which are optimized for the centrifugation process required to obtain an appropriate concentration of platelets.

Many PRP tubes have clear graduated markings on the side. These markings help medical professionals accurately measure the volume of blood collected initially and the volume of the resulting PRP after centrifugation.
