BD Vacutainer® SST™ Venous Blood Collection Tube 8.5 mL (16 x 100 mm)

The BD Vacutainer® SST™ tube is the gold standard in serum collection for clinical laboratories. Designed for high volume venipuncture workflows, this 8.5 mL tube delivers consistent, reliable serum separation reducing the risk of pre analytical errors that can compromise test results.

Why Clinicians Trust the BD SST™

The SST™ tube combines a clot activator with a thixotropic gel separator in a single draw. After centrifugation, the gel forms a stable barrier between the serum and cellular components giving your lab a clean, pipettable serum sample without the need for manual transfer. That means fewer steps, less handling, and lower contamination risk from collection to analysis.
