The BD Vacutainer® Glass Tubes are expertly crafted to offer high precision in collecting and retaining blood samples, particularly for glucose testing. Designed with a Hemogard Closure, these tubes ensure maximum safety by minimizing the risk of exposure to blood. This makes them an invaluable tool in clinical settings.

Featuring a 13 x 100mm dimension and a capacity of 7.0mL, these light gray tubes come with a paper label for easy identification and data recording. Each tube contains 30mg of Sodium Fluoride to inhibit glycolysis, thus maintaining the integrity of glucose levels in the sample over an extended period. Packaged conveniently in units of 100 per pack and 1000 per case, they are suitable for high-volume use in laboratories.

Key Features:

• The Hemogard Closure design reduces the risk of coming into contact with blood, enhancing safety during sample handling.
• Sodium Fluoride acts as a glycolysis inhibitor, ensuring that glucose levels in the blood sample remain stable for longer periods.

Uses:

• Primarily used for the collection of blood samples for glucose testing, the BD Vacutainer® Glass Tubes with Hemogard Closure are designed to ensure safe and reliable sample retention. They are particularly useful in minimizing glycolysis for accurate glucose determination.
