BD 367886 Vacutainer® Venous Blood Collection Tube, Lithium Heparin Additive, 6 mL, BD Hemogard™ Closure, Plastic

For chemistry panels and plasma-based testing, the BD Vacutainer® Lithium Heparin 6 mL Plasma Tube is a dependable choice in clinical laboratories that demand consistent, high-quality results. With a green color-coded BD Hemogard™ closure and a silicone-coated interior, this tube is engineered to support accurate plasma separation and protect lab personnel during post-centrifuge handling.

Lithium Heparin for Rapid Plasma Availability

Lithium heparin is the anticoagulant of choice for a wide range of chemistry and immunoassay tests. It works by inhibiting thrombin and other clotting factors, preventing coagulation and allowing plasma to be separated quickly after centrifugation. This makes the lithium heparin tube ideal for stat testing and routine chemistry panels where turnaround time matters. The green cap provides instant color-coded identification at the point of care and in the lab.

BD Hemogard™ Closure for Safer Handling

The BD Hemogard™ closure reduces the risk of blood exposure when opening the tube after centrifugation. Its recessed rubber stopper design helps contain aerosols and splatter, providing an added layer of protection for lab personnel. The silicone-coated closure also helps minimize cellular activation during collection and transport.
