8.5mL BD Blood Collection Tubes Vacutainer with PPT™ Plasma Preparation (Pearl White)

The 8.5mL BD Vacutainer® PPT™ Plasma Preparation Tube is engineered for efficient plasma separation and reliable molecular testing. It contains 15.8 mg of K₂EDTA as an anticoagulant to preserve nucleic acids and prevent clotting, while an integrated gel barrier ensures clean plasma isolation after centrifugation. The BD Hemogard™ Pearl White/Black Closure enhances biosafety by minimizing the risk of blood exposure during handling.

Ideal for molecular diagnostics, viral load monitoring, and nucleic acid amplification tests (PCR, bDNA, etc.), this tube streamlines sample collection, processing, and transport within a closed system—ensuring consistent integrity from draw to analysis.
