BCT Sodium Citrate 3.2% Non Vacuum Blood Collection Tube - 2ml Pack of 100 Pieces

The BCT Sodium Citrate 3.2% Non Vacuum Blood Collection Tube is engineered for precise blood collection in clinical laboratory settings, specifically for coagulation studies. Containing a 3.2% trisodium citrate solution, this tube is designed to prevent blood clotting by acting as a reversible calcium chelator, binding free ionized calcium in whole blood without permanently altering plasma protein structure.

This 2ml non-vacuum blood collection tube is crucial for maintaining sample integrity for a wide range of coagulation assays. It is suitable for tests such as Prothrombin Time (PT), International Normalized Ratio (INR), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT), Thrombin Time (TT), fibrinogen quantification, D-dimer assays, and protein C and S testing, as well as lupus anticoagulant panels. The non-vacuum design allows for controlled blood collection, which can be beneficial in specific patient populations or when precise volume control is desired.

Constructed from medical-grade plastic (PP), these tubes offer a lightweight, shatterproof, and chemically stable solution for sample collection. The material is inert to the trisodium citrate solution, ensuring that no plasticizers leach into the plasma sample during the pre-analytical phase. Each tube is sterile, ensuring sample purity and preventing contamination for reliable diagnostic results.
