BD Vacutainer Lavender Blood Collection Tubes are specially designed for haematology tests, including full blood counts (FBC), ESR, and blood typing. These tubes contain K2EDTA (dipotassium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), an anticoagulant that prevents blood from clotting, preserving the sample for accurate analysis of cells and blood components.
Available in 3ml and 4ml options, these tubes are made from strong PET plastic and feature a secure lavender BD Hemogard™ cap for safety. Each tube includes a clear block label for easy patient identification. They are sterile, CE marked, and suitable for use in care homes, community healthcare, and diagnostic services.
