Description
In order to obtain serum samples from plastic tubes, the tube must have a coagulation activator added. As the plastic surface alone is insufficient to trigger the coagulation within an acceptable time, BD Vacutainer™ plastic serum tubes have silica particles added for this purpose.
- These tubes are marked with the acronym CAT (Clot Activator Tube)
- Recommended minimum time for coagulation from patients who have not been treated with anticoagulants is 60 minutes
- Centrifuging conditions: ≤1300 g for 10 minutes at 18–25°C
