Smart Medical Technologies' Transition Valve
, a serum separation device used to separate fluids or blood components
into their respective fractions. The Transition Valve permanently separates blood into its
plasma and cellular components during centrifugation to virtually eliminate all problems of
re-mixing during shipment or testing. The valve and corresponding ball component are constructed
using the same materials as the test tube cap, and are therefore chemically inert. Furthermore,
the Transition Valve replaces the extensive applications of gel-based methods of serum separation,
which initiate and rely upon changes in blood chemistry to achieve sufficient separation. A valuable
tool for the medical technician or the laboratory scientist, the Transition Valve provides new solutions
to common challenges in the health and sciences sector.
