IF POSSIBLE, Avoid IDEAL INSTRUMENTS Branded Tubes

We have recently been receiving a lot of IDEAL INSTRUMENTS Branded Blood Collection Tubes. We are able to still run samples in these branded tubes, BUT they increase our processing time significantly. Blood does not separate well or not at all when we centrifuge the tube. Every tube received is centrifuged to have better access to serum in whole blood.

We have no issues with any other brand of Red Top Tubes.
