About Blood Collection Tubes
Vacuum Blood Collection Tubes are sterile, single-use tubes designed for safe and efficient collection, transport, and processing of blood samples in clinical laboratories and diagnostic centers. These tubes are manufactured using high-quality medical-grade materials and maintain a precise vacuum level to ensure accurate blood volume collection.
The tubes are available with different color-coded caps indicating specific additives for various diagnostic applications. The Red Cap tubes are typically used for serum testing, while the Lavender Cap tubes contain K2 EDTA anticoagulant, commonly used for hematology tests such as complete blood count (CBC).
Each tube is equipped with a leak-proof closure and a high-quality rubber stopper that ensures sample integrity, prevents contamination, and supports reliable laboratory analysis. These tubes are compatible with standard blood collection needles and holders used in hospitals, laboratories, and healthcare facilities.
