Features

BD 362799 Vacutainer® PPT™ Molecular Diagnostic Tube, K2 EDTA and Separator Gel Additive, 8.5 mL, White BD Hemogard™ Closure, Plastic

For molecular diagnostic testing that requires a larger plasma volume, the BD Vacutainer® PPT™ 8.5 mL Molecular Diagnostic Tube provides a one step solution for undiluted plasma preparation from a higher volume draw. The pearlescent white BD Hemogard™ closure and see through label make this tube easy to identify in the lab, and the K2 EDTA and separator gel additive combination supports efficient plasma separation for PCR-based assays and other nucleic acid amplification methods.

One-Step Plasma Preparation for High-Volume Molecular Diagnostics

The PPT™ tube is specifically designed for molecular diagnostic test methods that require undiluted plasma specimens. The polymer separator gel forms a stable barrier between the plasma and cellular components after centrifugation, allowing plasma to be aspirated cleanly without cellular contamination. K2 EDTA prevents coagulation by chelating calcium ions, preserving the specimen for downstream molecular testing. The 8.5 mL draw volume provides a larger plasma yield compared to the 5 mL format, making it well suited for assays that require higher specimen volumes or multiple aliquots from a single draw.

Pearlescent White Closure for Easy Identification

The pearlescent white BD Hemogard™ closure provides instant visual identification of the PPT™ tube type in the lab. The see-through label allows visual inspection of the specimen before processing, and the BD Hemogard™ design protects lab personnel from blood exposure when opening the tube after centrifugation.
