BD Vacutainer Plus Citrate Tubes are designed for routine coagulation testing. Each tube contains 3.2% buffered sodium citrate in a shatter-resistant plastic tube with a translucent light blue Hemogard closure, helping maintain the correct blood-to-additive ratio for reliable results.

Key Features:

• 3.2% Buffered Sodium Citrate: The buffered sodium citrate additive anticoagulates the sample for accurate, reliable coagulation study results.
• Shatter-Resistant Plastic Tube: The PET outer tube resists breakage, improving safety during handling, centrifugation and transport compared to glass.
• Non-Activating Inner Tube: A specialized polypropylene inner tube maintains the proper blood-to-additive ratio and citrate concentration without interfering with test results.
• Minimized Headspace: The tube design minimizes headspace across draw volumes, helping preserve sample integrity.
• Hemogard™ Closure: The recessed design and plastic-covered shield help prevent contact with blood on the stopper and outer rim, reducing splatter when opening the tube.
• Two Draw Volumes: Available in 1.8 mL and 2.7 mL draw volumes to suit different collection needs.
• 100 Tubes Per Box: Convenient box quantity supports steady supply for routine collection volumes.
