BD 367587 Vacutainer Fluoride Blood Collection Tubes 2 mL with Conventional Stopper 13mm x 75mm, 100/box
BD Vacutainer SST Tubes are intended for collecting specimen in physician laboratories and/or remote station and require transport to a laboratory for serum determinations and analysis for the following:
- Chemistry Testing
- Blood Donor Screening
- Infectious Disease Testing
Additive / Concentration: Sodium fluoride 3 mg, Na2EDTA 6 mg
The Purpose of the Silica Coating & Polymer Gel
SST Tubes are sterile and contain a spray-coated silica and polymer gel additive. The gel is used to separate the serum to maintain the quality of the sample while in transport. Silica particles coat the tube and make the inside walls appear cloudy. These particles are the clot activator. It is recommended to invert the tube after filling to ensure the sample is adequately mixed with the clot activator for optimal performance.
Closure Types/Color
This SST Blood Tube is available in a conventional tube stopper (color-coded Grey).
