{"title":"Excyte Vacuum Tube","description":"\u003ch1\u003eExcyte Vacuum Tubes for ESR Testing\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eExcyte Vacuum Tube\u003c\/strong\u003e line from ELITech Group is built for one job that lab techs run constantly: the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) test. These pre-filled sodium citrate tubes take the guesswork out of the citrate-to-blood dilution ratio, so every draw is standardized and every Westergren result is one you can trust. If your lab runs ESRs by the dozen, consistency at the tube level is what keeps your quality control clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll find both formats here. The \u003cstrong\u003eEX-50205\u003c\/strong\u003e is a sterile glass tube (8 x 120 mm, 1 mL) with a conventional black closure and sodium citrate additive — the traditional choice for labs that prefer glass for optical clarity during sedimentation reads. The \u003cstrong\u003eEP-10605\u003c\/strong\u003e is its plastic counterpart, a sterile 120 mm translucent tube holding 1.36 mL with the same sodium citrate chemistry and black-coded stopper. Plastic reduces breakage and sharps risk during transport and disposal, which matters in high-volume draw stations and mobile phlebotomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA few things buyers ask before ordering: the black closure is the industry color code for citrate-based ESR tubes, so they slot cleanly into your existing tube-recognition workflow. Both are sterile and single-use. The fixed fill volumes are intentional — the vacuum draws the exact blood-to-citrate ratio the ESR method requires, so avoid short draws that throw off the sedimentation column. Glass versus plastic comes down to your read method and safety policy; the chemistry and results are equivalent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese tubes are specific to hematology sedimentation testing and aren't interchangeable with feeding or drainage products.
