Serum Sample Cups 1.5ml (Eppendorf) – Laboratory Sample Collection & Processing Tubes

The Serum Sample Cups 1.5ml (Eppendorf) are small-capacity laboratory sample containers designed for the handling, transfer, processing and temporary storage of serum and other small-volume laboratory specimens. Their compact size makes them suitable for use in clinical laboratories, diagnostic centres, hospitals, research laboratories and medical training institutions.

With a 1.5ml capacity, these sample cups are useful where only a small specimen volume is required. They can be used during routine laboratory workflows for serum separation, aliquoting, sample preparation, reagent handling and short-term sample storage, depending on the laboratory procedure.

The compact design also makes them suitable for use with compatible laboratory equipment where small-volume sample containers are required.

Designed for Small-Volume Sample Handling

The 1.5ml capacity is ideal for applications involving small quantities of laboratory samples.

Typical uses may include:

• Serum sample handling

• Plasma aliquoting

• Reagent preparation

• Sample separation

• Laboratory testing

• Small-volume storage

• Research applications

• Clinical diagnostics

Compact Laboratory Design

The small size of the serum sample cups allows efficient use of laboratory racks, storage space and compatible processing equipment.

Their compact configuration is particularly useful in laboratories processing multiple samples where space efficiency and sample organization are important.

Clear Sample Visibility

Most 1.5ml sample cups are manufactured from transparent or semi-transparent laboratory-grade plastic, allowing technicians to visually inspect the contents.

This can help with:

• Monitoring sample level

• Observing separation

• Identifying pellets or sediment

• Checking sample clarity

• Detecting contamination or abnormalities

Secure Sample Handling

Depending on the specific design, the cups may include a fitted cap or closure that helps protect the specimen during routine handling.

A secure closure can help reduce the risk of:

• Spillage

• Evaporation

• Sample contamination

• Cross-contamination

• Accidental loss

Exact closure design should be confirmed from the product supplied.
