Top Trends Defining North America Blood Collection Tubes Market

No matter how large a leap we may take in diagnostics, even the best diagnostic tests fail to deliver accurate results if the biological sample isn’t well preserved. This especially applies to blood samples as blood analysis is still an important part of diagnostics. However, it wasn’t until the introduction of evacuated blood collection tubes market that several diagnostic processes became faster and more precise. In the years that followed, several improvements have been made to tube materials, the additives used to perform specific functions on blood samples, and the overall design of such tubes.

According to a Transparency Market Research report, the North America blood collection tubes market is on course to reach a valuation of US$632.1 mn by 2023.
