Description

The BLOOD COLLECTION VACUUM TUBE Plastic Vacuette Light Blue is a sterile, high-quality tube designed for reliable venous blood collection in clinical and laboratory settings. Constructed from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the tube provides durability, chemical resistance, and transparency for accurate visual inspection of samples. The tube’s clear body allows for easy verification of blood volume and integrity, supporting precise laboratory testing.

Each tube has a capacity of 3.5 mL and contains 3.2% sodium citrate as an additive, which functions as an anticoagulant for coagulation testing. The light blue color-coded closure with pull cap ensures proper identification and prevents sample contamination. Its standardized dimensions of 13 mm by 75 mm make it compatible with most vacuum collection systems, facilitating safe and efficient sample collection.

The sterile, single-use design ensures aseptic handling and minimizes the risk of cross-contamination during blood collection procedures. The tube is well suited for coagulation studies, including prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), providing reliable performance for routine laboratory testing and diagnostic purposes.
