Frequently asked questions
Do these tubes include a clot activator and separator gel?
Yes, the BD Vacutainer Plus Plastic Blood Collection Tubes are designed as Serum Separator Tubes (SST) and include the necessary additives for efficient serum preparation. They utilize the Silica/Gel additive:
- Silica: Functions as a highly effective clot activator, significantly speeding up the clotting process required for serum testing.
- Separator Gel: Following centrifugation, the gel forms a durable, physical barrier. This effectively isolates the resulting serum from the blood clot, ensuring a clean sample ready for diagnostic testing.
Are these blood collection tubes EPA-compliant for disposal?
Yes, the plastic composition of these tubes allows for safe and straightforward disposal, adhering to EPA guidelines and reducing environmental concerns.
Do the tubes significantly reduce breakage risks?
Yes, the BD Vacutainer Plus tubes are specifically designed for enhanced safety:
- Plastic Construction: The use of plastic material significantly reduces the risk of tube breakage and subsequent specimen spillage during collection, handling, and transport.
- Safe Disposal: The tubes are engineered to allow for simple and safe disposal that is compliant with current Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines.
Are high-performance serum separation additives used?
Yes, these BD Vacutainer Plus tubes are classified as Serum Separator Tubes (SST) and feature a powerful combination of additives to ensure optimal specimen integrity:
- Silica: This acts as a clot activator, promoting rapid and complete blood clotting.
- Separator Gel: Following centrifugation, the gel creates a stable, inert barrier between the resulting serum and the cellular components.
This design ensures high-quality samples suitable for standard clinical procedures, including chemistry, serology, and immunology tests. Furthermore, the plastic construction enhances laboratory safety by minimizing the risk of tube breakage.
Does the plastic construction enhance safety?
Yes, the plastic construction of the BD Vacutainer Plus tubes is designed to provide enhanced safety compared to traditional glass tubes, focusing on mitigating risks for healthcare professionals. Key safety features include: * Reduced Biohazard Risk: The durable plastic material minimizes the risk of tube breakage, which prevents specimen spillage and limits potential biohazard exposure. * EPA-Compliant Disposal: The plastic composition ensures the disposal process is simple, safe, and adheres to current EPA guidelines. * Secure Closures: Many variants are available with the safety-oriented BD Hemogard Closure, offering additional protection during sample handling and transport.
Are these plastic tubes safer than glass?
Yes, the BD Vacutainer Plus Plastic Blood Collection Tubes (BD SST) are specifically engineered to provide a safer alternative to traditional glass tubes for venous blood collection.
The key safety advantages of the plastic construction include:
- Reduced Risk of Breakage: The durable plastic material significantly minimizes the potential for tube breakage and subsequent specimen spillage during handling and transportation, enhancing safety for personnel.
- Secure Closures: Tubes are available with options like the BD Hemogard Closure, which is designed to improve sealing integrity and safety during opening.
- EPA Compliant Disposal: The plastic construction allows for disposal that is simple, safe, and fully compliant with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines.
Additionally, these Serum Tube (SST) variants contain a Silica/Separator Gel additive for efficient clotting and reliable serum separation.
