FLOW-THROUGH QUANTITATIVE BLOOD COLLECTION VIAL
First Claim
1. A vial for collecting blood in a flow-through manner, consisting of an internal chamber of precise fixed volume, having an ingress and egress equipped with connectors for standard medical tubing, made of a material with low surface-adhesion properties for proteins, shaped to fit into a counting receptacle such as a cylindrical well, such that the vial can be filled with a precise volume of blood by connecting the ingress with medical tubing to the blood supply of a living subject and applying vacuum pressure at the egress.
