Frequently asked questions
What is the precise Sodium Citrate concentration?
The BD Vacutainer Citrate Plus tubes are formulated with a precise, standardized concentration of Sodium Citrate, which acts as the necessary anticoagulant for coagulation testing.
- Concentration: 0.109 Molar / 3.2%
- Purpose: This specific concentration ensures the accurate blood-to-anticoagulant ratio required for maintaining specimen integrity during coagulation studies.
Additionally, these tubes are equipped with a protective Hemogard Closure to enhance safety during specimen handling.
Are these Vacutainer tubes durable plastic?
Yes, these BD Vacutainer tubes are manufactured from high-quality plastic and are supplied in Factory New condition, ensuring maximum reliability for clinical applications.
Key features that define their quality and safety include:
- Secure Closure: They feature the BD Hemogard Closure system, designed to enhance safety and reduce potential exposure during handling.
- Specialized Anticoagulant: Each tube contains 0.109 Molar/3.2% Sodium Citrate, which is essential for accurate coagulation testing.
- Volume Options: They are available in versatile configurations, including 1.8mL and 2.7mL draw capacities, to suit various laboratory needs.
Does the secure Hemogard Closure protect samples?
Yes, all configurations of the BD Vacutainer Citrate Plus Plastic Tubes utilize the patented Hemogard Closure system.
This specialized closure is a critical safety and security feature designed for professional laboratory use:
- Safer Handling: The system is engineered to minimize potential exposure to blood splash when the tube is opened.
- Secure Containment: It provides a reliable, secure seal to maintain specimen integrity during transportation and handling.
This robust closure complements the tube’s durable plastic construction for maximum reliability.
What are the available tube dimensions and draw volumes?
Yes, these BD Vacutainer tubes are available in multiple dimensions and draw volumes to suit various laboratory needs, particularly for coagulation studies. All configurations utilize the reliable BD Vacutainer System and feature the secure Hemogard Closure to minimize sample contact. They contain 0.109 Molar / 3.2% Sodium Citrate, which is essential for accurate plasma stabilization.The available configurations are:* 13mm x 75mm: Offered in 1.8 mL and 2.7 mL draw volumes.* 13mm x 17mm: Available exclusively with a 2.7 mL draw volume.
Do the tubes use paper labels?
Yes, specific configurations of the BD Vacutainer Citrate Plus Plastic Tubes are equipped with paper labels.
These labels are essential for accurate sample management and diagnostics in a laboratory environment, providing critical information such as:
- Anticoagulant Details: The concentration of 0.109 Molar/3.2% Sodium Citrate.
- Draw Volume: Clearly indicating the specified fill volume (e.g., 1.8mL or 2.7mL).
- Identification: Manufacturer and product reference information for traceability.
While this is standard for the product line, the inclusion or specific type of label may vary slightly depending on the exact tube dimension and volume configuration selected.
How many tubes are in a case?
The BD Vacutainer Citrate Plus Plastic Tubes are supplied in bulk standard medical packaging.Each case contains a total of 1,000 tubes, configured as follows:* Tubes per Box: 100 tubes* Boxes per Case: 10 boxesThis standardized packaging is designed for high-volume use in professional medical laboratory environments.
What are the specific tube dimensions and volumes?
The BD Vacutainer Citrate Plus Plastic Tubes are offered in specific configurations optimized for precise coagulation studies. The available dimensions and draw volumes are:
| Draw Volume | Dimensions |
|---|---|
| 1.8 mL | 13 mm x 75 mm |
| 2.7 mL | 13 mm x 75 mm |
| 2.7 mL | 13 mm x 17 mm |
All variants feature the reliable Hemogard Closure for enhanced safety and contain 0.109 Molar (3.2%) Sodium Citrate as the critical anticoagulant.
Are the BD Vacutainer tubes temperature sensitive?
Yes, specific configurations of the BD Vacutainer Citrate Plus Plastic Tubes are designated as temperature sensitive.
This classification is critical because the tubes contain the precise anticoagulant, 0.109 Molar/3.2% Sodium Citrate, which must maintain its integrity for reliable coagulation testing results.
- Required Handling: Proper storage and handling procedures must be followed to preserve the efficacy of the Sodium Citrate and the plastic tube composition.
- Non-Returnable Status: Due to their temperature sensitivity and regulatory requirements, the variants with this designation are also specified as non-returnable items.
Do these tubes have a secure Hemogard closure?
Yes, these BD Vacutainer Citrate Plus Plastic Tubes utilize the proprietary Hemogard Closure system.
This feature is designed specifically for enhanced safety during specimen collection and handling. Key benefits include:
- Minimized Risk: Helps reduce the potential for blood spatter and aerosol formation upon stopper removal.
- Secure Containment: Ensures reliable sealing for safe transport and storage of the medical specimen.
Are these tubes ideal for coagulation studies?
Yes, these BD Vacutainer Citrate Plus Plastic Tubes are specifically designed for blood collection requiring coagulation studies.
Here are the key details:
- Intended Use: These tubes are ideal for diagnostic testing where precise control over blood sample processing is required, typically in coagulation laboratories.
- Anticoagulant: They contain 0.109 Molar/3.2% Sodium Citrate, which acts as the necessary anticoagulant to preserve the specimen for accurate test results.
- Safety & Design: The tubes feature the secure Hemogard Closure system for reliable sealing and containment, and they are constructed of durable plastic.
