1.5 mL Serum Cups – Clinical Chemistry & Sample Analysis Cups
1.5 mL Serum Cups provide an accurate, contamination-free, and reliable container solution for holding patient biological samples during high-throughput clinical testing. Precision-molded to meet international optical and dimensional specifications, these sample cups fit seamlessly into auto-analyzer sample trays, racks, and carousels. The low-taper conical bottom ensures maximum sample recovery by enabling analyzer sampling needles to draw liquid down to the lowest possible dead volume. Designed with high dimensional consistency, they prevent sample misdispensing, needle jams, or optical reader interference in medical diagnostic centers throughout Pakistan.
Key Applications:
-
Automated Clinical Chemistry: Standard sample cups used in automated analyzers for routine liver function, renal panel, lipid profile, and electrolyte testing.
-
Immunoassay & Serology Testing: Ideal for holding serum and plasma samples during hormonal, infectious disease, and specialized immunoassay runs.
-
Pediatric & Micro-Volume Diagnostics: Applied when handling limited-volume pediatric, geriatric, or precious patient samples requiring minimal residual waste.
