Blood Collection

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.
