Abstract

L'invention concerne un tube de prélèvement sanguin comprenant un cylindre qui, par sa première extrémité avant, fermée par une paroi imperméable aux cellules et perméable au sérum sanguin, peut être introduit dans le tube et est conçu pour former un élément d'étanchéité entre la surface extérieure du cylindre et la surface intérieure du tube. Le cylindre est accessible par sa deuxième extrémité opposée à la première extrémité pour le prélèvement de liquide, éventuellement pourvu d'un bord verseur, ou recouvert par une membrane perforable.
