BD 367842 Vacutainer® Venous Blood Collection Tube, K2 EDTA Additive, 2 mL, BD Hemogard™ Closure, Plastic, 100/Box

When a smaller draw volume is needed without sacrificing sample quality, the BD Vacutainer® K2 EDTA 2 mL Blood Collection Tube is the right choice. Designed for pediatric patients, difficult draws, or applications where minimal blood volume is critical, this compact tube delivers the same reliable anticoagulation performance as larger BD Vacutainer EDTA tubes in a smaller, more patient-friendly format.

K2 EDTA Additive for Whole Blood Preservation

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 cap 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. This added layer of protection is especially valuable in high-volume labs where staff open many tubes throughout the day. The clear plastic tube allows visual inspection of the sample before processing.
