March 2021—Sarstedt introduced the Microvette APT for capillary blood collection. The tubes are available with either a 250-µL or 500-µL maximum fill volume. Both options have 75 × 13 mm external tube dimensions with a false bottom, feature a thin collection rim, are prepared with K2 EDTA, and have a pierceable and leak-resistant cap. The Microvette APT 250 offers a preassembled end-to-end capillary for collection. The Microvette APT 500 has a variable filling volume from 250 to 500 µL.
The tubes meet the requirements of the ADR/RID packing instruction P650 for primary containers and are suitable for transport with most modern transport systems, the company says, including the Sarstedt Tempus600.
