HemaSpot-SE™
What is the HemaSpot-SE™
The HemaSpot-SE™ patented design includes a new engineered material that provides rapid separation of blood with no cell hemolysis for improved precision. This new approach is a true alternative collection method similar to an SST tube, where red cells are separated from the serum without the need of a centrifuge.
