All components of the Sedi-Rate system are completely disposable. An optional transfer pipette with a firm stem capable of piercing the stopper is available. To use, simply add 1mL of blood to the indicated fill line. Push down on the pipette through the pierceable stopper to the bottom of the vial. The blood will automatically rise into the pipette and stop at the zero mark.
Any excess blood is stored in the overflow compartment at the bottom of the vial.
The use of Sedi-Rate eliminates splashing, spraying and aerosol hazards. Once the aerosol barrier is activated upon contact with blood, the system is completely closed. It does not vent directly into the atmosphere as in other push-down systems nor does it employ unsafe cotton plugs for autozeroing. Inc. All rights reserved.
