CROSSMATCH
VACUETTE® crossmatch tubes are used for serological compatibility testing.
The crossmatch is used for in vitro compatibility testing.
Crossmatch tubes from Greiner Bio-One are available in two versions: CAT serum crossmatch (additive: silicon dioxide) and K3 EDTA crossmatch (additive: potassium EDTA).
The tube type CAT serum crossmatch contains a clot activator which is used for crossmatching with serum, while the other type contains K3EDTA and is used for crossmatching with whole blood.
It's the simplest way to know everything. We'd love to get in touch.
