Automated transport and sample processing of capillary blood samples

Thursday, May 6, 2021

Sarstedt has developed the Microvette® APT for the collection of capillary blood samples from patients with difficult vein conditions, such as children or older people. The Microvette® APT is suitable for in-house transport by our Tempus600® systems and meets the requirements of the ADR/RID Packing Instruction P650 for primary containers for automated blood analysis systems.

Shorter total turnaround time

Using Tempus600® to transport Microvette® APT samples from the department directly to the laboratory eliminates handling and optimizes response time.

The Microvette® APT enables the turn-around time (TAT) in capillary blood analysis to be improved and avoids repeated blood collection, which benefits patients.

Using the same processes as for routine venous samples the Microvette® APT conveniently minimizes potential errors during transport and automated processing on blood count analysis systems.

The pierceable and leak-resistant cap makes it possible to carry out automated blood analysis in the same way as with venous samples.

The standard dimensions of 75 x 13 mm (excluding cap) also provide sufficient space for patient labels.
