BD Vacutainer Plus Plastic Blood Collection Tubes (Serum)

Yes, the BD Vacutainer Plus Plastic Blood Collection Tubes are specifically engineered for enhanced safety in serum collection, serving as a safer alternative to glass tubes.

Key features that contribute to improved safety and performance include:

• Durable Plastic Construction: The use of plastic significantly minimizes the risk of tube breakage and subsequent specimen spillage, ensuring safer handling during phlebotomy, transport, and processing.
• EPA Compliant Disposal: Disposal of these plastic tubes is safe, simple, and complies fully with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines.
• Efficient Clotting: The interior contains a clot activator to facilitate rapid and reliable serum preparation.
• Reduced Friction Interior: The interior is silicone coated for smoother sample collection and optimal sample integrity.

Yes, these BD Vacutainer Plus Plastic Blood Collection Tubes are specifically formulated for serum collection and feature a clot activator.

This activator is included to ensure the sample is properly prepared for testing by:

• Promoting rapid and efficient coagulation of the blood sample.
• Facilitating the efficient separation of serum required for laboratory analysis.

For enhanced sample integrity and optimal flow during collection, the interior surface of the tubes is also silicone coated.

Yes, the BD Vacutainer Plus Plastic Blood Collection Tubes feature a silicone-coated interior.

This is a key feature designed to optimize serum sample collection, working together with the integrated clot activator to ensure proper clotting and efficient serum separation.

Yes, these BD Vacutainer Plus tubes are clearly color-coded to ensure quick and correct identification in clinical settings. The key identifying features for this serum collection tube are:

• Label Color: The tubes feature a prominent red paper label.
• Contents: The coding signifies that the tube contains a clot activator and has a silicone-coated interior.
• Intended Use: They are specifically designed for efficient serum collection.

Yes, disposal of these plastic tubes is designed to be safe and straightforward, complying with EPA guidelines.

The BD Vacutainer Plus Plastic Tubes are available in three different volumes to accommodate various clinical sampling requirements.

These volumes correspond to specific tube dimensions:

These tubes are available with either Hemogard closures or conventional stoppers depending on the specific configuration.

Yes, the BD Vacutainer Plus Plastic Blood Collection Tubes are specifically designed for serum collection.

These tubes include critical features that ensure effective sample preparation and optimal serum yield:
