BD 366643 Vacutainer® Venous Blood Collection Tube, K2 EDTA Additive, 10 mL, BD Hemogard™ Closure, Plastic, 1000/Case

For hematology labs that depend on consistent, high-quality whole blood specimens, the BD Vacutainer® K2 EDTA Blood Collection Tube is a trusted standard. With a 10 mL draw volume and the reliable BD Hemogard™ closure, this tube is built for high-throughput environments where accuracy and safety go hand in hand.

K2 EDTA Additive for Whole Blood Preservation

K2 EDTA (dipotassium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is the anticoagulant of choice for complete blood count testing, blood film preparation, and other hematology applications. It works by chelating calcium ions in the blood, preventing clot formation and preserving cellular morphology so that results accurately reflect the patient's condition at the time of collection. The lavender color-coded cap provides instant visual identification, helping phlebotomists and lab techs select the correct tube quickly during busy collection sessions.

BD Hemogard™ Closure for Safer Handling

The BD Hemogard™ closure is designed to reduce the risk of blood exposure when opening the tube after centrifugation. Its unique design helps contain aerosols and splatter, providing an added layer of protection for lab personnel handling post-centrifuge specimens. The clear plastic tube allows visual inspection of the sample before processing.
