With the S-Monovette® you can choose between aspiration or vacuum technique. The S-Monovette® blood collection system gives you free choice of collection method. You can collect blood using the aspiration or vacuum principle, or combine the advantages of both techniques. For multiple sampling, venepuncture and the first blood draw can be carried out with the cannula attached using the aspiration technique. Thanks to the high transparency of the screw cap, you benefit from very good puncture control. The S-Monovettes can then be filled according to the vacuum principle, provided the venous conditions allow. The cannula remains in the vein while the S-Monovettes are changed, enabling drip-free multiple sampling.
Combination options: For blood collection from Luer connections, the S-Monovette® can be combined with the Multi-Adapter. For blood collection with a winged cannula, the Multifly® cannula with pre-assembled adapter, which connects directly to the S-Monovette®, is available.
EDTA is used as an anticoagulant for almost all haematological examinations. EDTA is provided as a solution at a concentration of 1.2–2 mg EDTA/ml blood in the S-Monovette® and in the sample tubes. Dilution due to the liquid EDTA solution is a maximum of 1%. The anticoagulant effect of EDTA is not impaired by drying out due to storage.
