BD Vacutainer® Blue Citrate Blood Collection Tubes | Box of 100
BD Vacutainer® Blue Citrate Blood Collection Tubes are used for the collection of blood samples for coagulation testing. These tubes contain an anticoagulant called Trisodium citrate, which helps prevent the blood from clotting. Citrate tubes allow for the preservation of the liquid (plasma) portion of the blood for coagulation studies.
All BD Vacutainer® plastic coagulation tubes have a mark indicating the minimum fill level to ensure the correct ratio of blood to additive (9 parts blood to 1 part sodium citrate).
Remove the tourniquet as soon as blood appears in the tube as leaving the tourniquet in place can lead to changes in the concentration of clotting factors in the plasma as well as platelet activation which can result in erroneous coagulation results.

Key Features & Benefits
Sterile Interior: BD Vacutainer® Blood Collection Tubes are gamma irradiation-sterilised, ensuring a sterile environment for blood samples.
Consistent Results: The predetermined vacuum ensures accurate blood collection and maintains the ideal blood-to-additive ratio, contributing to reliable test results.
Colour Coded: Light Blue Hemogard Cap allows for easy identification
Centrifugation conditions
For coagulation analyses different plasma specifications can be obtained from the citrated blood:
Platelet-rich plasma:
150-200 g for 5 minutes at 18-25°C
Platelet-poor plasma:
Plastic tubes: 2000-2500 g for 10-15 minutes at 18-25°C
Glass tubes: 1500 g for 15 minutes at 18-25°C
Platelet-free plasma:
> 3000 g for 15-30 minutes at 18-25°C
BD recommends that glass tubes are not centrifuged at more than 2200 g in a swing-out rotor (for fixed angle rotor not more than 1300g).
Recommended inversions: 3-4
