BD Microtainer is designed for the collection, transport and processing of skin puncture blood from infants, children, geriatric patients and critical care patients.
BD Microtainer blood collection tubes are designed for ease of use, helping ensure that a quality capillary blood sample is collected. These wider-diameter tubes feature the BD Microgard closure, which has an integrated collection scoop and improved mixing ability. This full array of micro collection tubes is available for hematology and chemistry applications, and is color coded to match the array of evacuated BD Vacutainer blood collection tubes.
Features
- Holds 250 to 500μL of blood
- Color-coded closures for accurate tube selection
- Marked with fill lines, lot numbers and expiration date
- Designed to minimize sample contact and improve mixing
- “Twist assist” feature allows controlled closure removal; snap-lock fit assures complete seal
