Clot Vial
Purpose:
Clot activator vials are designed to facilitate the formation of a blood clot, which is then separated from the serum (the liquid portion of the blood) through centrifugation
Mechanism:
The vials contain a clot activator, like silica particles or a gel, that interacts with the blood to trigger the coagulation cascade and expedite the clotting proces
Biochemistry panels (measuring electrolytes, enzymes, etc
Research studies (studying coagulation and clotting disorder
Hormone assays (testing hormone levels
Key Features:
- Gel Separator: Many clot activator vials also include a gel separator that forms a barrier between the serum and the clot after centrifugation, preventing interference between the two
