Blood Collection Tube 
Manufacturing Machine

Blood collection tube manufacturing machine, known as blood collection tube assembly machine, is a highly automated production equipment specially designed for the medical and laboratory industries. With the continuous improvement of the requirements for blood sample quality and collection efficiency in modern medical testing and scientific research experiments, the traditional manual production method of blood collection tubes can no longer meet the demands of high standards and high output. To promote pre-analysis laboratory quality control and better protect the safety of medical staff compared with traditional syringe collection, BCT has independently developed a blood collection tube production line. It is capable of manufacturing various types of blood collection tubes, including serum collection tubes, coagulation tubes and anticoagulation tubes, meeting the diverse needs of different laboratories and hospitals in blood testing, storage and transportation. The interior of blood collection tube manufacturing machine adopts high-precision mechanical structure and intelligent control system, which can strictly control the length, inner diameter, capacity and sealing performance of the tube body, ensuring that the size and quality of each blood collection tube fully comply with international medical standards.

The working principle of blood collection tube manufacturing machine is to process raw material tubes into blood collection tubes that meet medical standards through highly automated machine. The machine first precisely positions and conveys the pipe materials to ensure a stable and accurate processing procedure. Subsequently, high-precision sealing technology is used to seal the tube opening, ensuring the airtightness of the blood collection tubes and the sealing of the liquid. For tube types that require anticoagulants or other additives, blood collection tube assembly machine can evenly add them through a precise feeding system and ensure uniform distribution and stable function. Meanwhile, blood collection tube production line is equipped with advanced sensors and an intelligent control system to monitor key parameters such as temperature, pressure, and sealing strength in real time, achieving closed-loop control and automatically adjusting the production status. Based on this principle, the vacutainer blood collection procedure is highly standardized, controllable and efficient. It not only reduces manual operation and contamination risks, but also ensures the consistency of each blood collection tube in terms of size, capacity and performance.

The PLC control and touch interface are adopted to achieve real-time monitoring and precise adjustment, ensuring that the size and quality of each blood collection tube are highly consistent.

The tube opening is sealed by advanced heat sealing or spinning processes to ensure airtightness and liquid sealing, guaranteeing the safety and reliability of the blood collection tube during use.

The precision feeding system can accurately add anticoagulants or functional additives to different types of blood collection tubes, ensuring uniform distribution and stable performance inside the tubes.

Equipped with advanced optical cameras and visual recognition systems, it can detect defects and feed the data back to the PLC controller, which automatically adjusts the production parameters.

Each functional module can be independently upgraded and optimized. It can adjust production according to different specifications and types of blood collection tubes, improving production efficiency and flexibility.

This setup not only optimizes power consumption during continuous operation but also ensures stable and precise control over production cycles, supporting sustainable, large-scale manufacturing.

The fully automated production process covers tube feeding, additive dispensing, sealing and quality inspection, reducing manual operation and meeting the needs of large-scale manufacturing.

The precise control system and closed-loop detection ensure that the size, capacity and sealing performance of each blood collection tube are highly consistent, guaranteeing that the product meets strict medical standards.

The machine can produce various types of serum tubes, coagulation tubes, anticoagulation tubes such as EDTA tubes, heparin tubes, sodium citrate tubes, flexibly adapting to the needs of different customers.

Equipped with a visual recognition system and sensors to detect parameters such as the appearance, sealing performance and length of the tube body in real time. It can be adjusted promptly to reduce the defective rate.

Automated operation reduces human contact, effectively lowers the risk of contamination and ensures that the blood collection tubes meet medical safety standards.

The functional modules are independently designed, facilitating upgrades and maintenance, enhancing machine stability and production continuity.

Empty tubes are continuously and orderly fed into the production line through an automated feeding system.

Tubes are cleaned and dried before production to ensure the inner and outer walls are free of contaminants.

Anticoagulants, clot activators or other additives are precisely dispensed automatically.

The intelligent capping system automatically seals the tubes and place caps on the tubes with high precision.

Each tube is automatically labeled and coded for traceability and management.

Advanced sensors for visual inspection and dimension checking. Qualified tubes are automatically conveyed to the packaging area for storage.

Blood collection tubes should be stored in a room temperature environment of 15-25 degrees Celsius. For some special tubes that require refrigeration, they can be stored in a refrigerator at 2-8 degrees Celsius for a short period of time. The storage environment is dry and well-ventilated so that it can avoid affecting the vacuum degree or the activity of the additive.

Blood collection tubes are usually made of glass or plastic (such as PET). Glass tubes have the characteristics of good chemical stability and are not easily adsorbed by additives, but they are prone to breakage. Plastic tubes are lightweight and shock-resistant, making them suitable for large-scale production and transportation.

The cap of EDTA tube is usually purple or lavender. It contain EDTA as an anticoagulant, which can effectively prevent blood from clotting. It is mainly used for hematological test, such as blood routine test and blood type test, which is one of the commonly used anticoagulation blood collection tubes in clinical laboratories.

Blood collection tubes are color-coded to facilitate the distinction of the types and uses of additives inside the tubes. Different colors correspond to different anticoagulants, coagulants or separation gels, guiding clinical and laboratory personnel to correctly select blood collection tubes for specific tests.

Yes, blood collection tubes have an expiration date with 12 months, which is usually marked on the packaging. Expired blood collection tubes may lead to a decrease in vacuum inside the tubes,affecting the quality of blood samples and the test results. Therefore, before use, the production date and validity period should be checked.

Blood collection tubes are usually sterilized by electron beam or gamma ray and undergo aseptic treatment before packaging. These physical sterilization methods can effectively kill microorganisms without leaving chemical residues, ensuring the sterility and safety of the blood collection tubes.

The correct order is as follows: blood culture tube (without additives or special culture medium), sodium citrate tube (light blue cap), serum tube (red or gold cap), heparin tube (green cap), EDTA tube (purple cap) and glucose tube (gray cap). Blood collection tubes in the correct order can ensure the accuracy of the test results.

Vacuum blood collection tubes can ensure accurate blood collection volume, safe operation and reduce the risk of contamination. The vacuum degree is pre-set inside the tube, which can automatically draw the required amount of blood without manual pressure control, reducing the possibility of hemolysis or reflux.
