The BD® 365967 Microtainer® is a specialized small-volume collection vessel designed for the rapid separation and isolation of serum from whole blood samples in non-human research subjects. These tubes contain a proprietary gel barrier and a silica-based clot activator. During centrifugation, the gel migrates to form a distinct physical barrier between the serum and the cellular clot, ensuring sample stability and preventing analyte contamination. This makes the 365967 an essential tool for veterinary biochemistry, longitudinal metabolic research, and engineering R&D where high-purity serum is required from micro-scale samples.

Technical Performance and Design

• Integrated Gel Barrier: Features a precision-engineered polyester gel that moves during centrifugation to create a permanent, inert barrier between serum and blood cells.

• Silica Clot Activator: The interior of the tube is spray-coated with silica particles to accelerate the natural coagulation process, ensuring a clean, well-defined clot within non-human samples.

• Microgard® Safety Closure: Equipped with a Gold-coded safety stopper that significantly reduces the risk of aerosolization and leakage, facilitating secure transport and centrifugation.

• Integrated Collection Scoop: The built-in collector tip allows for the direct transfer of capillary-flow blood from a puncture site or catheter without the need for secondary capillary tubes.
