Frequently asked questions
Are the blood collection tubes durable plastic?
Yes, these BD Vacutainer tubes are constructed from durable medical-grade plastic.
The use of plastic offers significant advantages over traditional glass tubes, ensuring a safer and more reliable blood collection process:
- Safety: Plastic construction minimizes the risk of breakage or shattering during handling, centrifugation, and transportation.
- Hemogard Closure: They feature the proprietary Hemogard Closure, which is designed to enhance user safety by shielding personnel from contact with blood on the stopper and preventing aerosol exposure during uncapping.
- Quality: As factory new products from the trusted BD brand, they adhere to strict quality standards for clinical devices.
Are different tube configurations and volumes available?
Yes, these BD Vacutainer tubes are available in two primary configurations, each featuring the protective Hemogard Closure designed for safe, standardized blood collection and containment.
The specific configurations are tailored for different diagnostic needs:
| Feature | K2EDTA Configuration | Silica/Gel Configuration |
|---|---|---|
| Volume/Size | 2 mL (13 x 75 mm) | 5.0 mL (13 x 100 mm) |
| Additive Type | K2EDTA (Anticoagulant) | Silica/Gel (Serum Separator) |
| Cap Color (Inferred) | Lavender | Gold |
| Unique Feature | Standard whole blood collection | Includes ID Bar Coding |
Both configurations are supplied in bulk institutional packaging: 100 tubes per pack, with 10 packs per case (total of 1,000 tubes).
How are the Vacutainer tubes packaged?
The BD Vacutainer tubes are packaged in standard laboratory quantities designed for high-throughput use, regardless of the specific variant (K2EDTA or Silica/Gel).
Details of the bulk configuration are:
- Tubes per Pack (Rack): 100 tubes
- Packs per Case: 10 packs
This results in a total of 1,000 tubes per full case.
Is the Hemogard Closure system secure?
Yes, the BD Vacutainer tubes are designed with multiple safety features to ensure specimen containment and reduce staff exposure risks.
The enhanced security comes primarily from two features:
- Secure Hemogard™ Closure: This specialized protective closure system is engineered to minimize splashing and aerosol generation when the stopper is removed. This feature is crucial for protecting laboratory personnel during sample processing.
- Durable Plastic Construction: The tubes are made from plastic, which offers greater durability and significantly reduces the risk of breakage during collection, handling, centrifugation, and transportation compared to traditional glass tubes.
What are the available tube sizes?
The BD Vacutainer Plastic Blood Collection Tubes are offered in two primary volume and dimension configurations:
- 2ml volume with a 13x75mm dimension.
- 5.0mL volume with a 13mm x 100mm dimension.
What specialized additives are included?
These BD Vacutainer tubes are available with specialized additives to meet different laboratory testing protocols:
- K2EDTA (Lavender Cap): Functions as an anticoagulant to prevent blood from clotting. This configuration is typically used for whole blood testing, such as hematology studies.
- Silica/Gel (Gold Cap): Features Silica, which acts as a clot activator, and Gel, which acts as a separator. This combination is ideal for serum determination, promoting clotting and then separating the serum from the blood cells.
Are these high-quality tubes for professional use?
Yes, these BD Vacutainer tubes are high-quality, specialized medical devices designed exclusively for professional clinical and laboratory applications. They are manufactured by BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company), a highly trusted brand in medical supplies, ensuring proven reliability and integrity.
Key features that highlight their professional quality and safety include:
- Secure Hemogard Closure: This proprietary system is engineered to enhance safety by minimizing aerosol exposure and blood splashing risks during tube uncapping.
- Factory New Condition: All units are guaranteed to be in factory new condition, adhering to strict quality standards for medical devices.
- Specialized Configurations: The tubes are available with specific additives tailored for various diagnostic requirements:
- K2EDTA (Lavender Stopper): Used as an anticoagulant for whole blood collection, typically for hematology testing.
- Silica/Gel (Gold Stopper): Used for efficient serum separation in chemistry and immunology tests.
Do these tubes come bar coded?
Yes, bar coding is available for these BD Vacutainer tubes, specifically on one of the offered configurations.
The bar-coded version is the Gold tube variant (containing Silica/Gel additive), which has the following specifications:
- Additive: Silica/Gel (Gold stopper)
- Volume: 5.0 mL
- Dimensions: 13mm x 100mm
Are the tubes new?
Yes, these BD Vacutainer tubes are Factory New, ensuring quality and reliability for blood sample collection.
What high-quality tube configurations are available?
The BD Vacutainer system uses color-coded Hemogard Closures for rapid identification and safer specimen handling. Each configuration is optimized with a specific additive for different diagnostic requirements:
- Lavender Top Tube
- Additive: K2EDTA (Anticoagulant)
- Capacity & Dimensions: 2 mL (13x75mm)
- Primary Use: Ideal for clinical laboratory settings that require EDTA anticoagulated whole blood samples, commonly used for hematology testing.
- Gold Top Tube
- Additive: Silica/Gel (Clot Activator and Serum Separator)
- Capacity & Dimensions: 5.0 mL (13x100mm)
- Primary Use: Designed for efficient serum separation, making it suitable for high-volume serum chemistry or immunology testing. This variant is also available with ID bar coding for enhanced inventory management.
