Sample integrity

What if you could ensure greater sample integrity and fewer preanalytical errors at the point of care? With Radiometer’s syringes and capillaries you can do exactly that.

High analytical quality and reduced risk of clotting

Radiometer's safePICO syringes are preheparinised with dry, electrolyte-balanced heparin, significantly reducing the risk of clotting and securing the reliability of the result. Our uniquely formulated electrolyte-balanced heparin minimises bias on all electrolytes compared to other types of heparin.

Effective removal of air bubbles

safePICO syringes come with our unique safeTIPCAP, a special ventilated construction that simplifies and optimises the removal of air bubbles to avoid bias on sample results.

Fast and homogeneous sample mixing

All safePICO syringes have a built-in metal mixing ball to ensure fast and homogeneous mixing of the sample, while avoiding clots as heparin is dispersed throughout the sample.

For automatic and standardised mixing of all your blood samples in just 7 seconds, use the safePICO syringes with the FLEXQ on the ABL800 FLEX analyser, the built-in sample mixer on the ABL90 FLEX analyser or the safePICO mixer of the ABL80 FLEX analyser series.
