V-PRO Blood Collection Tubes: Validation for Clinical Chemistry and Immunoassay Tests.

Background: In accredited laboratories, each component of diagnostic products-such as laboratory instruments, reagents, and blood collection tubes must be validated before integration into routine patient testing. BD Vacutainers are commonly used in clinical laboratories compared to other blood collection tubes, while V-PRO tubes have recently been introduced to the market without prior laboratory validation. This study compares V-PRO tubes to BD Vacutainers to assess the validity of using V-PRO tubes for blood testing.
