For high-volume urine testing programs that require extended specimen stability, the BD Vacutainer® Urinalysis Tube 365017 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 yellow BD Hemogard™ closure and round bottom PET 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.

Round Bottom PET Construction with BD Hemogard™ Closure

The round bottom format is compatible with standard urinalysis analyzers and centrifuge configurations used in clinical laboratories. Made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), this tube offers the safety advantages of plastic over glass. The BD Hemogard™ closure protects lab personnel from urine exposure when opening the tube, containing aerosols and splatter during handling.
