Venous blood collection tube \u2014 serum gel with clot activator
Description
S-Monovette® Serum Gel CAT 7.5 ml is a sterile venous blood collection tube (92 x 15 mm) containing a clotting activator and a separating gel. The tube uses a membrane screw cap (brown/EU-ISO colour coding) and is supplied with a paper label. It is intended for serum collection and subsequent centrifugation for clinical chemistry testing. Sterilised by electron irradiation and supplied batched in packs of 50.
Bnefits
Clot activator with separating gel forms a stable serum/plasma barrier after centrifugation for improved sample quality
Membrane screw cap provides a liquid-tight closure and compatibility with S-Monovette handling systems
Sterile, electron-irradiated and IATA/ADR compliant for transport
CE certified (manufacturer self-declaration) for intended IVD use
Indications
Collection of venous blood for serum preparation and subsequent laboratory analysis (clinical chemistry, serology) following clotting and centrifugation
Composition
Tube material: Polypropylene (PP)
Cap/closure: High-density polyethylene (HD-PE) screw cap with membrane
Membrane material: Rubber (membrane screw cap)
Additives: Clotting activator (silicate) and separating gel (proprietary gel formulation)
Label: Paper label with brown print (EU/ISO colour coding for serum tubes)
Formulation
Sterile, single-use blood collection tube with clot activator and separating gel; membrane screw cap closure; fill mark / graduation indicated
Pack size: 50 tubes per inner box (sterile, batched)
Manufacturer order number: 01.1602.001 (refer to carton labelling for lot, expiry and IFU)
Usage
Collect venous blood into the tube using appropriate S-Monovette collection technique or compatible systems
Allow blood to clot (typical clotting time ~20–30 minutes with clot activator), then centrifuge at recommended conditions (2500 x g, 20°C for 10 minutes) to obtain separated serum
Follow local laboratory procedures and the Sarstedt Instructions for Use (IFU) for handling, storage, transport and disposal
Contraindications
Not to be used if sterility of package is compromised or packaging is damaged
Not intended for collection of samples requiring anticoagulated whole blood (use appropriate anticoagulant tube instead)
Adverse Effects
Device-related risks are typical of venepuncture and include haemolysis if improper technique is used; follow standard venepuncture and sample handling precautions
Not reported as causing adverse systemic effects — adverse events are associated with blood collection procedure rather than the tube itself
Storage Conditions
Store in original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
Refer to product carton and IFU for storage temperature range and shelf-life information
Duration
Not applicable (single-use collection device used per venepuncture/sample)
Onset
Clotting occurs within approximately 20\u201330 minutes with clot activator; serum separation achieved after recommended centrifugation (e.g., 2500 x g for 10 minutes)
