What is an SST™ transport tube?
The BD Vacutainer® SST™ Serum Separation Transport Tube contains double the amount of gel compared to the regular SST™ tubes. This provides a thick barrier that remains intact when tubes are transported, thereby maintaining the quality of the sample for the lab analysis. It is intended for use primarily when specimens are collected and centrifuged in physician laboratories or other remote collection stations, and then transported back to the laboratory for analysis.
