BD 367878 - Vacutainer Blood Collection Tube, Sodium Heparin, 6mL, Plastic, Green Stopper, 100/BOX

The BD 367878 Vacutainer Blood Collection Tube is a 6mL, 13x100mm plastic tube containing sodium heparin (Na Hep) as an anticoagulant. Designed with a green conventional closure, this sterile, single-use tube is widely used in clinical laboratories for plasma determinations in chemistry testing.

The sodium heparin additive prevents clotting by inhibiting thrombin and thromboplastin activity, ensuring reliable plasma samples for analysis. Its durable plastic construction provides a safer, shatter-resistant alternative to glass while maintaining specimen integrity throughout handling and processing.

Key Benefits

• 6mL capacity, 13x100mm size: Provides optimal sample volume for plasma-based testing.

• Sodium heparin anticoagulant: Prevents clot formation for accurate plasma analysis.

• Green conventional closure: Industry-standard color coding for heparinized tubes.

• Plastic, shatter-resistant tube: Enhances safety during handling and transport.

• Sterile, single-use: Reduces contamination risks and supports infection control.

Compatibility and Applications

The BD 367878 tube is compatible with standard blood collection systems and laboratory equipment.
