BD Vacutainer® blood collection tubes - coagulation

BD Vacutainer® Blood Collection Tubes – Coagulation are precision-engineered tubes designed to support accurate and reliable coagulation testing in clinical laboratories. Manufactured by BD, these tubes are widely trusted for tests such as PT (Prothrombin Time), INR, and aPTT.

Each tube contains buffered sodium citrate anticoagulant, formulated to preserve coagulation factors by binding calcium in the blood sample. The tubes are designed to maintain the correct blood-to-additive ratio when filled to the indicated volume, which is critical for valid coagulation results. The Vacutainer® evacuated tube system enables consistent sample collection and helps reduce pre-analytical variability. Tubes are sterile and intended for single use to support laboratory quality and infection-control standards.
