Applications and Experiments for the Plain Vacuum Tube
The tube draws blood in through a collection needle under its own vacuum, so a fixed volume enters without a syringe. With no anticoagulant inside, the sample is left to clot, and after centrifugation the clear serum above the clot can be separated for tests that need serum rather than whole blood.
- DMLT and phlebotomy training: practising venepuncture order-of-draw and tube handling with Gloves W/o Powder Nitrile Disposable.
- B.Sc. MLT clinical biochemistry: preparing serum from clotted samples for practical analyses.
- Nursing training: sample labelling and hand-over procedures for the laboratory.
- Discarding used tubes and swabs in a Biohazard Bag under institutional waste rules.
Keep unused tubes at 2–30 °C and leave the cap closed until use, otherwise the vacuum will be lost.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Vacuum Tube, Plain/Dry used for?
It is a blood collection tube without anticoagulant. The blood is allowed to clot in the tube, which makes it suitable when the laboratory needs serum separated from the clot after centrifugation.
How should the tubes be stored?
Store the tubes between 2 and 30 °C until use. Keep the caps closed so that the vacuum seal stays intact, because an opened tube will no longer draw the intended 6 ml volume.
How does this tube differ from the EDTA Vacuum Tube?
Both hold 6 ml and are made of PET, but this plain tube has no anticoagulant, whereas the EDTA Vacuum Tube contains EDTA K3, which keeps the blood from clotting for whole-blood tests.
Who supplies the Vacuum Tube, Plain/Dry?
Science Lab Supplies, operating from Ambala, India, supplies these plain tubes and can quote them for laboratories, training colleges and distributors together with EDTA tubes, serum gel tubes and other blood collection items.
