BD Vacutainer® SST™ Tubes - 367988 | BD The BD Vacutainer SST and PST gel tubes should be spun at room temperature at a speed of 1000 to 1300 RCF for 10 minutes in a swinging bucket centrifuge and 15 minutes in a fixed-angle centrifuge
Serum Separator Tube (SST) Specimen Handling Serum Immediately after each tubes fills, GENTLY rock the tube from top to east 5 times to start 4 Centrifuge samples @ 1300g for 15 minutes (1300g is about 3500 or “MAX” rpm ) Un-spun Under-spun Unacceptable 3 30 minutes – 2 hours
Serum-separating tube - Wikipedia After the blood sample is centrifuged, the clear serum should be removed for testing [3][4] These tubes should be used with care when measuring drug or hormone levels because the drug or hormone may diffuse from the serum into the gel, causing a reduction in measured level
Instructions for Centrifuging Lab Specimens SST Red tops should be spun for 12-15 minutes Light green top tubes may be spun immediately Spin for 5 minutes at a speed of 3600 rpm Specimens that will not be received by the lab within 3 hours need to be spun down and refrigerated unless otherwise specified
SST tube centrifuge speed - HUBEI NEW DESHENG MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY CO . . . SST tubes (containing serum separation gel and coagulants) have a wide range of applications in the field of blood testing, and setting the centrifuge speed correctly is crucial for obtaining high-quality serum samples from SST tubes
Horizon 6 Flex Guide - testmenu. com After opening the lid of the unit, place peripheral blood specimens collected in SST or PPT in centrifuge All specimen tubes should be inspected prior to centrifugation
What is Serum Separator Tube (SST)? Blood Sample Collection: After blood is collected into an SST, it is allowed to sit for a period before being placed in a centrifuge Centrifugation: During centrifugation, the serum separation gel forms a physical barrier in the tube, separating the serum or plasma from the blood cells
