ABSTRACT:
Blood samples are drawn from patients in capillary tubes from skin sticks. When drawn, the capillary tubes for individual patients are placed in a single larger specimen carrier tube which can then be labeled with a specialized specimen label printed at bedside, or elsewhere, when the samples are drawn. The larger carrier tube has a closure cap which includes an internal layer of putty which is used to seal an end of the capillary tubes for each individual patient, thereby eliminating the possibility of cross contamination of one patient's blood sample with another's when the capillary tubes are plugged. The specimen tube also has an internal separator which will prevent the capillary tubes from touching each other to limit breakage of the capillary tubes during handling.
