AFCO Vacuum Sodium Citrate Blood Collection Tube

1.8 mL | Double Wall PET | 3.8% Sodium Citrate | Box of 100

AFCO Vacuum Sodium Citrate Blood Collection Tubes are precision-engineered specimen collection devices designed for coagulation testing and other hematology applications requiring accurate blood-to-additive ratios. Manufactured using high-quality double-wall PET material, these vacuum tubes provide excellent durability, clarity, and safety while ensuring reliable sample integrity throughout collection, transportation, and laboratory analysis.

Each tube contains 3.8% Sodium Citrate anticoagulant and is calibrated to collect 1.8 mL of blood under controlled vacuum conditions. The sodium citrate additive binds calcium ions in the blood, effectively preventing clot formation and preserving coagulation factors for accurate laboratory results. This makes the tubes particularly suitable for tests such as Prothrombin Time (PT), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT), Fibrinogen assays, and other coagulation studies.

The tubes feature a light blue cap, the internationally recognized color code for sodium citrate coagulation tubes, allowing easy identification in busy laboratory and clinical environments. Their sterile interior and leak-resistant closure help maintain sample purity while minimizing contamination risks during handling and transport. The transparent PET body enables clear visualization of blood volume and specimen condition, supporting efficient workflow in diagnostic laboratories.
