2.7mL BD Vacutainer Blood Collection Tubes with Buffered Sodium Citrate (Blue)

The 2.7mL BD Vacutainer® Citrate Tube with BD Hemogard™ Light Blue Closure is designed for precise coagulation testing. It contains 0.109M (3.2%) buffered sodium citrate, which acts as an anticoagulant by binding calcium to preserve blood in a liquid state for accurate clotting analysis. The BD Hemogard™ closure enhances user safety by minimizing blood exposure during handling, making it ideal for routine laboratory workflows.

Widely used for Prothrombin Time (PT), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT), and other coagulation assays, this tube ensures consistent plasma quality across clinical and diagnostic settings. Its precisely formulated additive and safety-focused design make it a trusted choice for laboratories prioritizing accuracy, compliance, and protection.
