What is the intended use of the BD PPT™ Tube?
The BD Vacutainer® PPT™ Plasma Preparation Tube (BD PPT™ Tube) is a plastic evacuated tube for the collection of venous blood which, upon centrifugation, separates undiluted plasma for use in molecular diagnostic test methods (such as but not limited to PCR – polymerase chain reaction and/or bDNA – branched DNA amplification techniques) or other procedures where an undiluted plasma specimen is required as determined by the laboratory.
