Serum Separating Tubes (SST / Gel & Clot Activator)

Serum Separating Tubes (SST) are designed for the collection of venous blood samples intended for serum-based laboratory testing. These tubes contain a clot activator and separation gel, which work together to accelerate clot formation and create a stable barrier between serum and blood cells after centrifugation. During centrifugation, the inert gel moves to form a physical barrier between the serum and cellular components, ensuring clean serum separation and reducing the risk of sample contamination. This improves sample stability and allows for accurate and reliable test results. Serum separating tubes are widely used in clinical chemistry, immunology, serology, and biochemistry testing, including liver function tests, kidney function tests, hormone analysis, and infectious disease screening. Manufactured from high-quality medical-grade plastic or glass, SST tubes feature a reliable vacuum system for precise blood collection. They are sterile, leak-proof, and compatible with automated laboratory analyzers, making them suitable for hospitals, diagnostic centers, and research laboratories.
