Buyer summary: Four tube families list 52 configurations in total: 10 plain, 10 clot-activator, 8 gel-and-clot-activator and 24 EDTA K2/K3 configurations. Every listed configuration records 1200 tubes per case. The same red cap and dimensions occur in both plain and clot-activator records, so colour alone does not identify the additive.
This guide organises existing tube catalogue configurations for an itemised quotation. It does not select a tube for an assay, species or clinical purpose, and gives no collection, mixing, centrifugation or storage procedure. Obtain product-specific instructions and laboratory validation for the actual requirement.
Start with the additive and exact family
RES-00001 records None (plain tube); RES-00002 records Clot activator; RES-00003 records Separation gel and clot activator; RES-00004 records EDTA K2 or EDTA K3. Keep that additive description attached to the full SKU and configuration. A shared cap colour or tube size does not establish equivalent contents or interchangeability.
Do not order by cap colour alone
The plain and clot-activator families both list red-cap configurations from 2 to 10 ml, plus rubber-stopper options at 9 and 10 ml. Their additive fields differ. The gel-and-clot-activator family lists yellow-cap and rubber-stopper configurations; the EDTA family lists purple-cap and rubber-stopper configurations with K2 or K3 specified separately. These are the colours in these records, not a universal colour-code claim.
Keep volume and tube size as one listed combination
A volume alone is not a full tube specification. The gel-and-clot-activator record lists 4 ml in both 13 x 75mm and 13 x 100mm sizes. Choose one explicitly listed combination; the table is not a promise that every volume, cap and dimension can be freely combined. Recorded volume and external size do not establish rack, holder or analyser compatibility.
Keep K2 and K3 references separate
RES-00004 records 12 configurations under EDTA K3 and 12 under EDTA K2. Its 24-configuration total does not make K2 and K3 interchangeable. State the required additive explicitly and obtain the responsible laboratory specifications and product-specific evidence for the intended application. No assay, sample-stability or species validation is inferred here.
Separate packing quantity from commercial terms
Each listed configuration records 1200 tubes per case. That is a catalogue packing quantity, not a minimum order, stock level or lead-time promise. Confirm whether a case contains one configuration, any inner-pack quantity, labels, lot/expiry identification and carton details. Do not assume that a mixed case is available.
Request documents before approving the purchase specification
The compared fields do not establish tube material, evacuated status, sterility, additive quantity, dimensional tolerances, shelf life, storage limits or certification. Request the exact item instructions and documentation, including the basis of the recorded volume and any required holder or laboratory-system fit. No performance claim from a different brand or tube family is transferred.

Quotation checklist
- State exact SKU and additive; for RES-00004 explicitly state K2 or K3.
- Copy the complete listed volume / cap-or-stopper / tube-size combination into the enquiry.
- State required quantities in tubes and request case and inner-pack details; 1200 per case is not a stated MOQ.
- Provide required holder, rack or laboratory-system references and request documented fit; external dimensions alone do not confirm compatibility.
- Request tube material, additive specification, volume basis and any required evacuated/sterility evidence.
- Request product-specific instructions, lot/expiry identification, shelf life and storage documentation.
- Have the responsible laboratory confirm intended application and required validation; this guide supplies no clinical selection or processing procedure.
- Confirm labelling, destination, required documents, availability and commercial terms.
Frequently asked purchasing questions
Does a red cap distinguish plain from clot-activator tubes here?
No. Both RES-00001 and RES-00002 list red-cap configurations. Use the SKU and additive field together.
Does the 4 ml gel tube have only one listed size?
No. RES-00003 lists yellow-cap 4 ml configurations in both 13 x 75mm and 13 x 100mm. Specify the complete combination.
Are EDTA K2 and K3 one interchangeable option?
No interchangeability is established. RES-00004 lists them separately, with 12 configurations for each. State the additive and seek the required laboratory validation.
Does 1200 tubes per case mean a minimum order of 1200?
No. It is the recorded case quantity. Minimum order, split-case supply and commercial terms require confirmation.
Do these tables establish sterility or assay suitability?
No. Those properties and any intended-use validation require product-specific supporting documentation.
