FAQ

 The right tube depends on the test, additive requirement, sample volume, and laboratory protocol. Using the correct tube helps ensure accurate results.

Each cap colour represents a specific additive or tube type designed for particular laboratory tests.

CENVAC® Vacuum tubes automatically draw a fixed volume of blood by suction, while
CENTUBE^™ Non-vacuum tubes require manual sample transfer, typically with a syringe.

Additives such as clot activators, anticoagulants, and separation gels help preserve samples and support specific diagnostic tests.

 High-quality tubes help maintain sample integrity, ensure additive consistency, and reduce the risk of pre-analytical errors.

CENTUBE^™- Micro Paediatric tubes are designed for low-volume blood collection and are commonly used for infants, children, and patients who require minimal blood draws.

The order of draw (Blood Culture, Light Blue, Red/Gold, Green, Lavender, Grey) is the sequence in which tubes are filled to minimise additive carryover and maintain sample accuracy.

 Sterility helps protect sample integrity and reduce contamination risks. Gamma Irradiation and E-beam sterilisation are the only validated methods for interior sterilisation of blood collection tubes. Terms such as aseptic, UV, temperature, or similar processes should not be considered equivalent to validated terminal sterilisation.

 No, the Company does not claim that its Vacuum tubes are Endotoxin-Free.

 Improper collection techniques, incorrect needle use, excessive force, or poor sample handling can cause haemolysis and affect test results.

 Sterile, high-quality tubes help protect samples from external contaminants during collection, transport, and testing.

 PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): The traditional standard. Blood is collected in tubes containing an anticoagulant (like ACD) and spun down to concentrate the intact platelets. Once injected, the platelets slowly break down in your tissues to release growth factors over time.

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin): The completely natural evolution. Spun at a much lower speed in tubes with no chemical additives, it creates a sponge-like fibrin matrix. This matrix traps white blood cells, stem cells, and platelets, slowly releasing growth factors over a period of 7 to 10 days for long-lasting tissue regeneration.

 GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate): The advanced, next-generation treatment. Blood is collected in highly specialised tubes loaded with pre-packaged platelet activators. This causes the platelets to burst inside the tube, completely isolating a pure, cell-free serum containing a massive, concentrated dose of immediate growth factors. PRP, PRF, and GFC tubes are designed to prepare different blood-derived products used in regenerative and therapeutic procedures.

 Key factors include separation efficiency, sterility, platelet recovery, product quality, and manufacturing consistency.

Yes. They are commonly used in orthopaedics, dermatology, aesthetics, sports medicine, dentistry, and regenerative medicine.

 The ideal glove depends on the required protection, comfort, fit, durability, and intended medical or laboratory application.

 Material quality, strength, comfort, puncture resistance, and manufacturing consistency are important factors.

 Gloves create a protective barrier that helps reduce the transfer of contaminants between healthcare professionals, patients, and samples.

Multi-sample needles allow multiple blood samples to be collected from a single venepuncture, improving efficiency and patient comfort.

 A needle holder securely connects the blood collection needle and tube, providing stability during sample collection.

 Reliable accessories help improve collection efficiency, user safety, and the quality of diagnostic samples.

Variations in product quality can affect sample integrity, test reliability, and overall diagnostic accuracy.

 Consistent manufacturing helps ensure predictable product performance and reliable laboratory results across every batch.
