Features

BD 367977 Vacutainer® Plus SST™ Venous Blood Collection Tube, Clot Activator and Separator Gel Additive, 4 mL, Gold BD Hemogard™ Closure, Plastic, 1000/Case 

For serum chemistry testing where a smaller draw volume is preferred, the BD Vacutainer® Plus SST™ 4 mL Tube provides the same reliable serum separation performance as the standard SST format in a more patient-friendly size. The gold BD Hemogard™ closure provides instant color coded identification, and the clot activator and separator gel combination supports efficient serum preparation for a wide range of chemistry and immunoassay panels.

Clot Activator and Separator Gel for Efficient Serum Preparation

The clot activator promotes rapid clot formation, reducing the time required before centrifugation. After centrifugation, the separator gel forms a stable barrier between the serum and cellular components, allowing serum to be aspirated cleanly without cellular contamination. This one tube approach eliminates the need for manual serum transfer, reducing handling steps and the risk of specimen contamination or mislabeling. The silicone-coated tube interior minimizes cellular activation during collection and transport.

Gold BD Hemogard™ Closure for Safe, Easy Handling

The gold BD Hemogard™ closure is the recognized color code for SST serum separator tubes. The BD Hemogard™ design protects lab personnel from blood exposure when opening the tube after centrifugation, containing aerosols and splatter during handling. The clear tube allows visual inspection of the specimen and gel barrier before processing.
