6mL BD Vacutainer Tube with Clot Activator Additive (Red)

The BD Vacutainer® Red Top Tube with Clot Activator provides a reliable solution for serum collection and testing in clinical and laboratory settings. Each tube contains a silica-based clot activator that accelerates the clotting process, ensuring the production of clean, high-quality serum following centrifugation.

Constructed from durable PET plastic, the tube is shatter-resistant and designed to maintain integrity during handling and transport. Its vacuum-sealed precision draws an exact 6mL of blood, ensuring consistency across samples. The silicone-coated interior prevents cell adhesion and allows smooth blood flow for efficient collection.

The BD Hemogard™ Safety Closure enhances user safety by minimizing the risk of splashing or contamination during tube opening — a critical feature for high-throughput healthcare environments.

Ideal for serum-based testing, including therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), hormone assays, serology, and immunology, this tube is also preferred for mass spectrometry and other sensitive methods that require serum free of gel interference.
