BLOOD COLLECTION VACUUM TUBE PLASTIC VACUTAINER PLUS LIGHT BLUE HEMOGARD CLOSURE 3.2% BUFFERED SODIUM CITRATE SOLUTION 2.7ML 75MMX13MM is a sterile venous blood collection tube designed for reliable coagulation testing and laboratory diagnostics. Constructed from clear, medical-grade plastic, the tube allows easy visualization of collected specimens and facilitates safe handling during blood draw procedures.

The tube contains 3.2% buffered sodium citrate (0.109M), which acts as an anticoagulant by chelating calcium in collected blood samples. This additive ensures the prevention of clot formation, maintaining sample integrity for coagulation assays such as prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). The standardized 75 mm × 13 mm dimensions are compatible with most vacuum collection systems and laboratory processing equipment.

Equipped with a BD Hemogard™ closure, the light blue cap provides secure sealing and leak protection while reducing exposure to additives and enhancing laboratory safety. The silicone-coated closure ensures smooth penetration by needles and prevents coring during blood collection. The light blue color coding allows immediate identification as a coagulation tube in multi-tube collection workflows.
