Vacutainer Tube K2EDTA Purple

Precision Hematology with BD Vacutainer® Plus K2EDTA Lavender Tubes

The BD Vacutainer® Plus Plastic Whole Blood Tube is the industry standard for high-accuracy hematology determinations, immunohematology testing, and blood donor screening. Specifically engineered for the Canadian clinical environment, these tubes feature a spray-dried K2EDTA (10.8mg) additive. This preparation ensures rapid and thorough anticoagulation of the blood sample, preserving cellular morphology and ensuring the integrity of results for Complete Blood Counts (CBC), lead testing, and molecular diagnostic assays.

Advanced Hemogard™ Safety Technology

Protecting frontline healthcare workers is a priority. The BD Hemogard™ Lavender closure is designed to prevent accidental blood contact and eliminate the risk of blood splattering when the tube is opened. The recessed stopper design ensures that any residual blood on the tube rim remains shielded by the closure. This feature is critical for hospital labs, phlebotomy clinics, and diagnostic centers looking to enhance OSHA compliance and staff safety protocols during high-volume sample processing.

Optimized for Laboratory Efficiency and B2B Procurement Available in both 4mL (13x75mm) and 6mL (13x100mm) configurations, these sterile, latex-free plastic tubes are shatter-resistant, providing an added layer of safety during centrifugation and transport. The paper labels are designed for high-clarity patient identification and are compatible with most laboratory information system (LIS) barcode scanners. For procurement heads and laboratory managers, these tubes represent a reliable, high-volume solution that minimizes sample rejection rates and optimizes workflow in Canadian medical facilities.
