BD 388911 Vacutainer® Venous Blood Collection Tube, K2 EDTA Additive, 6 mL, Pink BD Hemogard™ Closure, Plastic, 1000/Case 

For whole blood and hematology testing where a pink capped tube is required, the BD Vacutainer® K2 EDTA 6 mL Whole Blood Tube 388911 provides reliable K2 EDTA anticoagulation in a BD Hemogard™ closure format. Available by the case, this 13 x 100 mm tube is a stocked option for labs that process whole blood specimens and need the pink color coded closure for specific workflow or protocol requirements.

K2 EDTA for Whole Blood and Hematology Testing

K2 EDTA 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 pink 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.
