Features

BD 367921 Vacutainer® Venous Blood Collection Tube, Sodium Fluoride and Potassium Oxalate Additive, 2 mL, Gray BD Hemogard™ Closure, Plastic, 1000/Case

For glucose determination in a small volume format, the BD Vacutainer® NaF/KOx 2 mL Glucose Tube 367921 provides the dual additive formulation required to inhibit glycolysis and preserve blood glucose levels from collection through analysis. The gray BD Hemogard™ closure provides instant color coded identification, and the translucent plastic tube construction supports safe, efficient handling in clinical collection workflows.

Sodium Fluoride and Potassium Oxalate for Glucose Preservation

Sodium fluoride (5 mg) acts as an antiglycolytic agent, inhibiting the enzymes responsible for glucose metabolism in red blood cells. Potassium oxalate (4 mg) serves as the anticoagulant, preventing clotting by chelating calcium ions. Together, these additives preserve blood glucose levels for accurate glucose determination testing, making this tube the standard choice for fasting glucose, glucose tolerance testing, and other glucose based assays where specimen stability is critical.

Gray BD Hemogard™ Closure for Safe Handling

The gray BD Hemogard™ closure is the recognized color code for sodium fluoride glucose tubes. The recessed rubber stopper design helps contain aerosols and splatter when the tube is opened after collection, protecting lab personnel from blood exposure. The silicone coated closure minimizes cellular activation during collection and transport, further supporting specimen integrity.
