Products Description

Product Introduction

These mini blood collection tubes can be used for both peripheral and venous blood collection, significantly reducing the blood collection volume from the conventional 2-10ml range to 0.25-1ml, minimizing blood waste and patient suffering while ensuring testing needs.

Target User

Newborns and infants: This is the core user group for mini blood collection tubes. Infants and young children have weak veins, making venipuncture difficult and risky. At the same time, repeated blood draws may lead to iatrogenic anemia. Mini blood collection tubes can be obtained through a heel skin puncture, causing minimal harm to the child.

Patients with difficulty in venipuncture: They include the elderly, obese individuals, chemotherapy patients, burn patients, etc., whose peripheral veins are difficult to puncture. Mini blood collection tubes can be collected from fingertips, offering a more user-friendly alternative.

Additive Type

Just like with regular blood collection tubes, select different additives according to testing needs. For example:

Heparin: Used for biochemical testing of plasma required.

EDTA: Used for routine hematology testing.

Sodium Citrate: Used for coagulation function testing.

Additive form: Some products have a coating on the inner wall of the tube, while others are pre-filled in liquid or dry powder form.

Design Meterials

Mini blood collection tubes are made of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE).

The tube body uses PP material, which has good transparency and facilitates monitoring of blood collection. The tube cap uses high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and comes in internationally standardized colors, making it easy for medical staff to quickly identify the type of additive inside the tube and reduce operational errors.

Compared to traditional glass blood collection tubes, mini blood collection tubes made of PP+PE material are much lighter, and their biggest advantage is that they are not easily broken. This makes it convenient and safe for transportation or use in high-intensity working environments.

product comparison

contrast Dimensions	Mini Blood Collection Tube	Regular Blood Collection Tube
products Picture
Collection Volume	0.25~1ml.	2~10ml.
Collection principle	picked up through small containers.	Relies on preset vacuum negative pressure to automatically draw in blood.
Collection Site	peripheral areas: infant heels, adult fingertips, earlobes, etc.	venipuncture: midline elbow vein, dorsal hand vein, etc.
additive Ratio	The small Blood volume requires higher precision microdosing of additives, and ratio deviations have a greater impact on results.	The large blood volume means the additive ratio has a relatively greater margin for error.
