BD Microtainer® Plasma tube with Separating Gel and Lithium Heparin

These BD Microtainer® plasma tubes are designed for the collection and processing of small-volume capillary or venous blood samples. The compact tubes are suitable for professional healthcare and laboratory environments where smaller specimen volumes are required.

Each tube contains lithium heparin and a separating gel for preparing plasma specimens. Following appropriate centrifugation, the separating gel provides a physical barrier between the plasma and cellular components of the collected blood sample.

A practical fill-level marking is incorporated into the tube design to help users collect the appropriate volume of blood. This ensures the correct ratio between the blood specimen and the additive in the tube.

The BD Microtainer® format is designed for convenient collection and handling of smaller blood specimens. The tubes can be used for capillary or venous blood collection where appropriate and should be incorporated into established collection and laboratory procedures.
