BD 364992 Vacutainer® Urinalysis Tube, Chlorhexidine and Ethyl Paraben and Sodium Propionate Additive, 8 mL, Red Conventional Closure, Conical Bottom, Plastic, 1000/Case

For urine specimens that require extended stability before analysis, the BD Vacutainer® Urinalysis Tube 364992 with chlorhexidine, ethyl paraben, and sodium propionate preservative provides reliable specimen integrity from collection through transport. Available by the case for high volume labs, this tube features a red conventional closure and conical bottom plastic construction compatible with standard urinalysis analyzers and centrifuge configurations.

Triple-Preservative Formulation for Extended Specimen Stability

The combination of chlorhexidine, ethyl paraben, and sodium propionate works together to inhibit bacterial growth and preserve cellular morphology in urine specimens. This preservative system is designed to maintain specimen integrity for urinalysis testing, supporting accurate results even when specimens cannot be processed immediately after collection. This makes the tube particularly well suited for reference labs, hospital systems, and outpatient collection networks where transport time may delay processing.

Conical Bottom Plastic Construction with Red Closure

The conical bottom format facilitates efficient sedimentation during centrifugation and is compatible with standard urinalysis analyzers used in clinical laboratories. Made from clear plastic, this tube allows visual inspection of the specimen before processing. The red conventional closure provides color coded identification for sorting and processing alongside other tube types in the lab.
