Features of SST Blood Collection Tubes
1. Clot Activator for Faster Serum Separation
🔹 Promotes blood clotting within 15–30 minutes.
🔹 Ensures clear serum for accurate lab analysis.
2. Gel Separator for Improved Sample Integrity
🔹 Forms a barrier between serum and blood cells after centrifugation.
🔹 Prevents cell metabolism from affecting test results.
3. High-Quality Tube Material
✔ PET or Glass Tubes – Ensures durability and sterility.
✔ Vacuum-Sealed Design – Maintains accurate blood collection volume.
4. Distinctive Cap Colors for Easy Identification
-
Gold Cap (Yellow Top) – Standard for clinical chemistry tests.
-
Tiger-Top (Red-Gray Cap) – Used in some laboratories for serum separation.

Applications of SST Blood Collection Tube
1. Clinical Chemistry Tests
✅ Liver Function Tests (LFTs) – Measures enzyme levels like ALT, AST, and bilirubin.
✅ Kidney Function Tests (KFTs) – Analyzes creatinine and urea levels.
✅ Electrolyte Panel – Evaluates sodium, potassium, and chloride levels.
2. Immunology & Serology
✅ Hormone Testing – Includes TSH, cortisol, and reproductive hormones.
✅ Infectious Disease Screening – Used for HIV, hepatitis, and syphilis tests.
✅ Antibody & Antigen Testing – Detects immune responses to infections.
3. Drug Monitoring & Toxicology
✅ Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) – Checks medication levels in blood.
✅ Toxicology Screening – Detects drugs, alcohol, and toxins in the body.
4. Other Laboratory Applications
✅ Metabolic Panel – Measures glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides.
✅ Autoimmune Disease Testing – Helps diagnose conditions like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.

Conclusion
- SST Blood Collection Tubes play a crucial role in serum-based laboratory testing.
- Their clot activator and gel separator ensure faster processing and accurate test results.
- These tubes are widely used in clinical chemistry, immunology, serology, and drug monitoring.
