Microtainer tubes are designed to collect and preserve blood specimens for later analysis. The tubes are made of plastic and have a small opening on one end that is sealed with a rubber stopper. A needle is inserted through the stopper to draw blood from the patient. The blood is then collected in the tube and the stopper is replaced to seal the tube. The tubes are then placed in a special container called a centrifuge, which spins them around at high speed. This causes the blood to separate into layers. The upper layer, which is made up of plasma, is drawn off and stored for later analysis. The lower layer, which is made up of red blood cells, is discarded.
