Frequently Asked Questions
What is the anticoagulant used in these tubes?
▾
These tubes contain spray-coated K2 EDTA, which prevents clotting by binding calcium. This is ideal for hematology tests like CBCs, ensuring accurate blood cell counts and morphology.
Does the plastic tube affect test accuracy?
▾
No, the Vacutainer Plus plastic tubes are designed to match the performance of glass. The K2 EDTA coating is evenly applied, and the material does not interfere with standard hematological analysis.
How does the Hemoguard closure improve safety?
▾
The Hemoguard closure minimizes aerosol release when the tube is accessed, reducing exposure to bloodborne pathogens. It’s especially valuable during high-volume or emergency blood draws.
