  • Title: Use of plastic vacutainer tubes for quantification of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in blood specimens.
    Author: Landry ML, Garner R, Ferguson D.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2001 Jan; 39(1):354-6. PubMed ID: 11136799.
    Abstract:
    Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 viral load results were compared for paired samples collected in plastic and glass Vacutainer tubes, using both standard (n = 60) and ultrasensitive (n = 66) assays. The results showed a strong correlation (P < 0.0001), and plastic tubes can be substituted for glass tubes.
