Blood Collection Tube Labels
The new Greiner Bio-One blood collection tube labels provide a visual reference to ensure sample volumes are within ± 10% fill range, allowing labs to easily eliminate quantity not sufficient (QNS) samples and the necessity to re-draw patients. This new label will reduce costs associated with QNS samples and patient redraws.VACUETTE
Water Purification System
The Milli-Q Reference system delivers ultrapure (Type 1) water customized to fit a broad range of research areas while conserving lab resources. This system incorporates a new purification strategy that combines initial purification of Type II feed water with individualized final purification. Depending on their application, scientists can install a variety of polishing cartridges to remove specific contaminants at the point of delivery. Users can automatically fill lab containers with the desired amount of water using accurate, hands-free volumetric dispensers, and a graphic screen displays water quality and system status. A comprehensive range of service programs are available to install, maintain, validate, and calibrate the Milli-Q Reference system.
