BD 368589 - Vacutainer Plus EDTA Blood Collection Tube 10 mL Hemogard Closure for Hematology Testing, 1000/CS

The BD 368589 Vacutainer Plus EDTA Tube is a high-capacity blood collection tube designed for hematology testing and whole blood analysis. With a 10 mL draw volume, this tube is ideal for collecting sufficient sample quantities for comprehensive laboratory evaluations.

This tube features EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) as an anticoagulant, which effectively preserves cellular components by preventing blood clotting. The Hemogard closure enhances safety by reducing the risk of exposure during handling and opening. Manufactured by BD, a globally trusted leader in diagnostic systems, this tube is engineered to ensure sample integrity, reliability, and consistent laboratory performance.

Key Benefits

The BD 368589 tube ensures accurate hematology results by maintaining the integrity of blood cells through EDTA anticoagulation. This is essential for tests such as complete blood counts and differential analysis.

The Hemogard closure provides an added layer of safety by minimizing contact with blood during handling. The large 10 mL capacity supports high-volume testing requirements and reduces the need for multiple tubes.

Its durable plastic construction reduces the risk of breakage, improving safety during transport and processing.

Compatibility and Applications
