BD 367986 Vacutainer® Plus Venous Blood Collection Tube, Clot Activator and Separator Gel Additive, 5 mL, Gold BD Hemogard™ Closure, Plastic, 100/Box

For serum chemistry and immunoassay testing where a clean serum barrier is essential, the BD Vacutainer® Plus SST 5 mL Serum Separator Tube 367986 delivers the clot activator and gel separator combination in a gold BD Hemogard™ closure format. Available by the box of 100, this tube is a stocked staple for labs that process routine serum chemistry panels and need reliable gel separation in a mid range draw volume. These 5 mL serum tubes are not recommended for blood bank use.

Clot Activator and Separator Gel for Efficient Serum Preparation

The clot activator promotes rapid, complete clot formation after blood collection, with a blood clotting time of 30 minutes. After centrifugation, the separator gel migrates to the serum clot interface, forming a stable barrier that allows serum to be aspirated cleanly without cellular contamination. The silicone coated interior minimizes cellular activation during collection and transport, supporting specimen integrity from draw to analysis.

Gold BD Hemogard™ Closure for Safe Handling

The gold BD Hemogard™ closure is the recognized color code for SST serum separator tubes. The recessed rubber stopper design helps contain aerosols and splatter when the tube is opened after centrifugation, protecting lab personnel from blood exposure. The clear plastic tube allows visual inspection of the specimen and gel barrier before processing.
