MiniCollect® Capillary Tubes
MiniCollect® capillary tubes are used together with the various collection tubes of the same range. They are moulded from a special plastic to prevent activation of cells. The coating is dependent upon the type of sample being collected, and for this reason capillary tubes are clearly identifiable by the colour-code. When the capillary is inserted into the tube through the unique cross cut cap, blood flows into the tube via the capillary effect. Click here for more information
