BD 366664 Vacutainer® Plus Venous Blood Collection Tube, Lithium Heparin Additive, 2 mL, BD Hemogard™ Closure, Plastic

When a smaller plasma volume is needed without sacrificing sample quality, the BD Vacutainer® Plus Lithium Heparin 2 mL Plasma Tube is the right choice. Designed for pediatric patients, difficult draws, or applications where minimizing blood loss is a clinical priority, this compact tube delivers the same reliable anticoagulation performance as larger lithium heparin tubes in a smaller, more patient-friendly format.

Lithium Heparin for Rapid Plasma Availability

Lithium heparin prevents coagulation by inhibiting thrombin and other clotting factors, allowing plasma to be separated quickly after centrifugation. This makes it the anticoagulant of choice for a wide range of chemistry and immunoassay tests where plasma is the required specimen type. The green color-coded cap provides instant visual identification at the point of care and in the lab, helping phlebotomists and lab techs select the correct tube quickly during busy collection sessions.

BD Hemogard™ Closure for Safer Handling

The BD Hemogard™ closure reduces the risk of blood exposure when opening the tube after centrifugation. Its recessed rubber stopper design helps contain aerosols and splatter, providing an added layer of protection for lab personnel. The clear plastic tube allows visual inspection of the sample before processing.
