BD Vacutainer® PPT Blood Collection Tubes

The BD Vacutainer® PPT Plasma Preparation Tube is used to separate undiluted plasma from whole blood for molecular diagnostic tests.

These methods include, but are not limited to, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or branched DNA (bDNA)amplification techniques.

The BD Vacutainer® PPT tube is also applicable to other molecular diagnostic analyses where an undiluted plasma specimen is required.

The BD Vacutainer® PPT tube ensures:
• Safe handling of infectious samples and no re-labelling
Plasma is prepared in the closed BD Vacutainer® tube
that can be directly transported, eliminating the need for
aliquoting from primary BD Vacutainer® tube to secondary
container and re-labelling.
• Plasma quality is maintained
The gel barrier prevents plasma from coming in contact with
blood cells. Viral load will be stable for: 1, 2
6 hours - whole blood at room temperature
24 hours - separated plasma at room temperature
5 days - separated plasma refrigerated at 4ºC.
Plasma may be stored frozen in situ in the BD Vacutainer®
PPTTM tube. However, freezing plasma in situ in BD Vacutainer®
PPTTM tubes may be prohibited for some assays and the assay
manufacturer’s guidelines should be consulted.
The BD Vacutainer® PPTTM tube is CE marked for in vitro
diagnostic use.
