Multi-Sample Blood Collection Needles (Pen Needles)
View Details
Product Overview
Manufactured in ISO 13485-compliant facilities, the XINLE Veterinary Serum Tube is a fundamental pre-analytical consumable for veterinary clinics and diagnostic centers.
Unlike plasma tubes, this product contains absolutely no anticoagulants or active additives. It relies entirely on the animal’s natural coagulation cascade, ensuring that the resulting serum is completely free from chemical interference. This additive-free design guarantees high-fidelity diagnostic results for sensitive biochemical and immunological assays.
Regulatory Notice: For Veterinary In Vitro Diagnostic & Laboratory Use Only — Not for Human Diagnostic Use.
Key Features & Clinical Advantages
- Natural Serum Preparation: Contains zero additives, providing a straightforward and natural clotting process without the risk of anticoagulant-induced assay interference.
- High-Quality Serum Clarity: Produces crystal-clear, reliable serum specimens that significantly reduce sample-related interference in automated laboratory analyzers.
- Optimized for Companion Animals: The compact 10 × 45 mm tube profile with flexible micro-volumes (0.2 mL to 1 mL) safely meets the precise blood collection requirements of small dogs, cats, and exotic pets.
- Leak-Proof Sample Protection: Secure sealing design minimizes external contamination risks and ensures complete sample safety during intra-clinic handling and transport to reference labs.
- Convenient Visual Identification: Equipped with a standard color-coded cap design, allowing veterinary technicians to quickly identify the tube type and improve workflow efficiency.
Clinical Veterinary Applications
Veterinary Serum Tubes are widely utilized across animal hospitals and diagnostic laboratories for a broad spectrum of diagnostic tests:
- Clinical Chemistry Testing: Comprehensive metabolic panels evaluating liver, kidney, and organ functions.
- Serological Assays: Essential for viral and bacterial infectious disease testing.
- Antibody & Immunology Detection: Vaccine titer testing and immune system evaluation.
- Routine Pet Wellness: General health examinations and chronic animal disease monitoring.

How to Use Veterinary Serum Tubes
Follow standard veterinary handling protocols to ensure optimal natural clotting:
- Collection: Draw blood from the animal using a sterile syringe, veterinary butterfly needle, or safety lancet.
- Dispensing: Transfer the required blood volume (0.2 mL to 1 mL) smoothly down the inner wall of the tube to prevent mechanical hemolysis.
- Clotting Period: Allow the tube to stand upright at room temperature for the blood to clot naturally. (Since there are no additives, do not invert the tube to mix).
- Centrifugation: Once the clot has fully formed and retracted, centrifuge the sample according to laboratory protocols to separate the clear serum.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A: The Veterinary Serum Tube is used for collecting blood samples from dogs, cats, and other small animals to prepare pure serum. The harvested serum is primarily used for veterinary diagnostic testing, including clinical biochemical profiles and serological analysis.
A: No. The tube contains absolutely no anticoagulants or chemical additives. Blood samples are meant to clot naturally after collection, allowing for clean serum separation during laboratory processing.
(Note: If faster serum separation is required for emergency workflows, please refer to our Veterinary Clot Activator Tubes).
A: The Veterinary Serum Tube is specifically scaled and designed for small companion animals, particularly dogs and cats, making it highly suitable for veterinary clinics, pet hospitals, and diagnostic laboratories.
