Clot Activator Tubes

Clot activator tubes are specialized blood collection containers used in medical labs. They contain a substance that helps the blood to clot quickly after it is drawn from a patient. When blood is placed in these tubes, the clotting process starts, allowing for easier separation of the serum (the clear liquid part of blood) from the solid components during testing. These tubes are particularly important for certain blood tests that require serum for accurate results, ensuring that samples are processed efficiently and effectively. They are commonly identified by their distinct color codes in lab settings.
