Additive having dual surface chemistry for blood collection container and assembly containing same US 5246666 AABSTRACTAn additive for a blood collection tube has a wettable surface region and a nonwettable surface region. When a blood sample comes into contact with the wettable surface region, the clotting cascade is initiated. Clot material adheres to the nonwettable surface region. The additive thereby becomes part of the clot and, on centrifugation, becomes part of the pellet and is removed from the serum layer. The invention includes a blood collection tube having the additive therein. The tube may be evacuated and have an open end covered with a septum.[BD Vacutainer PLUS Tube] |
