Steripath Micro optimizes the blood culture collection process by allowing for fast, easy, and consistent diversion and test sample collection. Using an active blood culture bottle- or syringe-driven diversion method, Steripath Micro diverts the initial 0.5 to 1.0 mL of blood into the diversion chamber, preventing potential contaminants from entering the culture bottle. Once diversion is complete, simply push a button to automatically sequester the contaminants and open a second, sterile pathway for blood culture collection.
