BD 367856 Vacutainer® Venous Blood Collection Tube, K2 EDTA Additive, 3 mL, Lavender BD Hemogard™ Closure, Plastic, 100/Box 

For whole blood and hematology testing where a smaller draw volume is preferred, the BD Vacutainer® K2 EDTA 3 mL Whole Blood Tube 367856 is a fast selling staple for clinical phlebotomy programs. Available by the box of 100, this 13 x 75 mm tube delivers reliable K2 EDTA anticoagulation and BD Hemogard™ closure protection in a compact format well suited for pediatric collections and low volume draws.

K2 EDTA for Whole Blood and Hematology Testing

K2 EDTA (spray-dried) prevents clotting by chelating calcium ions in the blood, preserving cellular morphology and maintaining sample integrity for complete blood count testing and other hematology applications. The lavender color coded BD Hemogard™ closure provides instant visual identification, helping phlebotomists quickly confirm the correct tube during collection. The silicone coated closure further supports sample quality by reducing the risk of cellular activation during tube handling.

BD Hemogard™ Closure for Safer Post-Draw Handling

The BD Hemogard™ closure is engineered to reduce aerosol and splatter exposure when the tube is opened after centrifugation. The rubber stopper is recessed inside the plastic shield, so any drops left by a blood collection needle remain isolated from potential contact. This added layer of protection is especially valuable in high-volume labs where staff open many tubes throughout the day.
