SST or gel separator tube
Sst tube plasma.. Red tube/with ad
sst tube contain a specific type of gel that separates the blood after centrifuge.
has the same density as red blood cells
There are several tests done for thyroid function. They require different tubes.
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.
Ionized calcium is one test that needs the sst tube.
Either an SST or Red-top tube.
An SST tube will contain serum once its been centrifuged. SST stands for serum separator tube. It will separate the serum from the other blood components.
