QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube

Blood Collection, cont.

November 2009

On the next slide, we see an example of a QuantiFERON tube set that has been correctly filled to the 1-mL fill line. However, the following images are examples of tubes that have either been under-filled, as seen with the tube on the left, or overfilled, as seen with the tube on the right. These tubes have been drawn incorrectly and this may lead to inaccurate results.
