Optima Automation now offers an efficient machine line for this as a complete solution.<\/p>\n<p>The solution from Optima Automation combines numerous functions inline right through to the final<strong> Transport packaging for blood collection tubes<\/strong>. It is essential to first clean the tubes using deionised air and then irradiate them with UV-C LED light in order to effectively reduce any germs that may be present.<\/p>\n<p>This is followed by dosing stations for additives, which are added according to the laboratory diagnostic requirements. The <strong>Optima BCT-200<\/strong> can therefore be used for the production of blood collection tubes for almost <strong>all diagnostic applications of this type<\/strong> are mixed.
