SST Tube stands for "Serum Separator Tube"
This is a gel and clot activator tube that is used for clinical biochemistry and immunology. Inside the tube, there is a barrier gel present at the bottom, which is a pure substance, very stable in physical and chemical features. Even under a high temperature, the barrier will not change inside at all. After centrifugation, the barrier can effectively separate the serum from fibrin and cell, while preventing substance exchange between blood cell and serum.
