BD Vacutainer plastic tubes offer a safe method of blood collection and reduce the potential for tube breakage and specimen spillage, thereby reducing the potential for exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
BD Vacutainer blood collection needles can be used for multiple tube samples. They have a low-angle bevel design and are coated with silicone, a low friction lubricant, ensuring very gentle and smooth vein entry. Individual laser control maintains the highest quality levels and are available with a 20, 21 or 22 gauge needle.

These single-use BD Vacutainer holders are compatible with all BD Vacutainer blood collection tubes and needles. Individually packed and sterile, they are ideal for use when a sterile holder is required.
BD Vacutainer holders are designed to maximise safety as they are closed systems, reducing the risk of transfer related needlestick injuries. They are also single-use, eliminating the risk of contamination.
BD Vacutainer Sodium Fluoride/Potassium Oxalate and Fluoride EDTA tubes are used for glucose determinations. The tubes are available in plasticand can be identified by a grey cap. Glucose values in unpreserved blood samples decrease quickly after collection as glucose is metabolised by the blood cells.
The additives contained in BD Vacutainer Fluoride/Oxalate and Fluoride EDTA tubes will stop enzymatic activity at the glycolytic pathway.
BD Vacutainer Serum tubes are used to obtain a serum sample. The tubes are available in plastic, a range of sizes and can be identified by a red cap. The BD Vacutainer serum tubes have the additive silica sprayed on the inner walls of the tube to accelerate the clotting process.
