Venous Serum Blood Collection Tubes BD Vacutainer Plus with Clot Activator 6 mL Hemogard Closure 100/Box

Venous Serum Tubes are used to collect, transport, and store blood samples for diagnostic testing. After blood is drawn, these tubes allow the blood to clot, separating the serum from the cellular components. The serum can then be analyzed for a variety of tests, including:

1. Chemistry Panels: Assessing metabolic function and organ health.
2. Serology: Detecting antibodies and antigens for infection and immunity status.
3. Endocrinology: Measuring hormone levels.
4. Toxicology: Detecting drugs and other substances.

These tubes contain a clot activator to expedite the clotting process.

BD Vacutainer Plus Venous Serum Blood Collection Tubes are used to collect, transport, and store venous blood specimens. These tubes are specifically designed for serum determinations in clinical laboratories. They often contain a clot activator to facilitate the clotting process, allowing the blood to separate more efficiently from the serum, which can then be used for various diagnostic tests such as chemistry panels, serology, and immunohematology.

Optimize your laboratory’s blood collection and serum separation procedures with BD Vacutainer Plus Venous Serum Blood Collection Tubes. Specifically engineered for precision and safety, these tubes are indispensable for anyone performing serum tests, offering unparalleled reliability and ease of use.

Details and Features

• Volume and Dimensions: These tubes have a 6 mL draw capacity, making them ideal for numerous serum analyses, and measure 13mm x 100mm.
• Clot Activator: The interior is lined with a silica-based clot activator that accelerates the clotting process for efficient serum separation.
• Hemogard™ Closure: Features the innovative Hemogard™ Closure to prevent contact with blood, enhancing safety during handling and disposal.
• Convenient Packaging: Available in boxes of 100, these tubes are suited for high-volume environments, offering a practical and economical choice.

Mechanism of Action

BD Vacutainer Plus Venous Serum Blood Collection Tubes utilize a silica-based clot activator to expedite the natural clotting process. Once blood is drawn, the clot activator promotes clot formation, allowing for the subsequent separation of the serum post-centrifugation. The high-quality serum obtained is suitable for a wide range of clinical chemistry tests.

Directions for Use

1. Preparation: Assemble all necessary blood draw equipment and confirm patient readiness.
2. Collection: Perform venipuncture and allow the tube to fill with 6 mL of blood, ensuring an optimal fill to guarantee proper results.
3. Mixing: Invert the tube gently 5 times to initiate the clotting process activated by the silica particles.
4. Centrifugation: After clotting, centrifuge the tube as per protocol to separate the serum for testing.

Warnings

• Proper Use: Ensure correct filling to preserve the blood-to-additive proportion, avoiding sample rejection or inaccurate test results.
• Handling and Disposal: Exercise caution to prevent accidental needle sticks. Use sharps disposal containers for all needles.
• Storage: Store tubes in a controlled temperature environment, between 4°C and 25°C, avoiding exposure to heat or direct light.
• Single Use: Designed for single-use only. Attempting to reuse or sterilize can compromise test integrity.
• Expiration Date: Do not use tubes after the expiration date marked on the packaging to ensure effectiveness.

Trust BD Vacutainer Plus Venous Serum Blood Collection Tubes for your critical serum testing needs, where precision and safety are paramount. Engineered for reliability, they support consistent, high-quality lab results.
