BD Vacutainer® Plus Blood Collection Tube – 3.5 mL, SST, Hemogard™ Closure

The BD Vacutainer® Plus Venous Blood Collection Tube – 3.5 mL, SST is engineered to support accurate and efficient blood specimen collection for serum testing. Manufactured by BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company), this tube features a clot activator and serum separator gel (SST), enabling rapid clotting and clean serum separation after centrifugation.

The 3.5 mL draw volume is suitable for a wide range of routine laboratory assays, helping reduce patient blood loss while maintaining sample integrity. Constructed from durable plastic, these tubes offer break resistance and consistent performance during collection, transport, and processing.

Each tube is equipped with the BD Hemogard™ closure, a safety-engineered cap designed to help reduce exposure to bloodborne pathogens during handling. This closure supports safer workflows for phlebotomists and laboratory staff by minimizing the risk of splashing or aerosolization when removing caps.

BD Vacutainer® Plus SST tubes are widely used in hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, outpatient centers, physician offices, and reference labs. Packaged in packs of 100 tubes, with 10 packs per case, this product supports both departmental stocking and centralized purchasing. Your minimum selling unit is 1 pack.
