BD Vacutainer® Heparin Tubes are made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and spray-coated with lithium heparin. Samples collected in these evacuated blood collection tubes are used for plasma determinations in chemistry. Provides a safer work environment for all personnel by: reducing risk of tube breakage during handling, eliminating breakage when tubes are centrifuged at higher speeds and eliminating breakage or chipping of tube rims when stopper is removed and reinserted. In addition to reducing potential injuries, fewer tube breakages result in less workflow interruption and fewer patient redraws, providing smoother day-to-day operation.
