What Is A Micro Vacutainer?

The micro vacutainer is a specially designed blood collection tool that combines vacuum technology and the need for micro blood collection, featuring unique advantages and characteristics.

Principle of the Micro Vacutainer

The micro vacutainer is a disposable, quantitative blood collection negative pressure vacuum tube, specifically designed for scenarios that require micro amounts of blood samples. The principle is to pre-extract different vacuum levels in the blood collection tube with a cap, using negative pressure to automatically and quantitatively collect venous blood samples. During the blood collection process, one end of the blood collection needle is inserted into the human vein, and the other end is inserted into the rubber stopper of the vacuum blood collection tube, whereby blood flows automatically into the tube under negative pressure.

Characteristics of the Micro Vacutainer

Micro Collection

The micro vacutainer is particularly suitable for testing projects that require small amounts of blood samples, which reduces the pain and discomfort for patients.

Automated Collection

Utilizes the principle of negative pressure to automatically draw blood samples, eliminating the need for additional pipettes or syringes, making the blood collection process more convenient and quicker.

Advantages of the Micro Vacutainer

High Safety

Reduces the chances of medical personnel directly contacting blood, thereby lowering the risk of cross-infection.

High Accuracy

Ensures the integrity and accuracy of blood samples through vacuum negative pressure, preventing damage and confusion of samples during collection and transportation.

High Convenience

Disposable use eliminates the need for tedious disinfection and cleaning procedures, reducing the workload and time cost for medical staff.

Types of Micro Vacutainer

Micro vacutainer can be categorized into various types based on different needs, such as whole blood collection tubes, plasma collection tubes, serum collection tubes, and more. These different types of blood collection tubes are suitable for various clinical testing projects, such as complete blood count, blood typing tests, coagulation experiments, biochemical tests, and others.

As an advanced blood collection tool, the micro vacutainer has a broad application prospect in the medical field. Its features of micro collection, automated collection, high safety, high accuracy, and convenience play increasingly important roles in clinical testing.
