red-top tubes for diagnostic testing
Red top blood tubes do not contain additives or anticoagulants
These blood collection vacuum tubes are made of shatter-resistant
latex-free plastic
Coated interior with water soluble silicone and sterilized by gamma radiation
Silicone coated tube indicates that the interior surface of the Blood Collection Tube has been coated with a water soluble silicone material
Sterilization applies to the tube and stopper interior only
and not to the outside of the tube or to the packaging
Vacutainer brand sterile hematology tubes with the Hemogard closure help to protect lab personnel from contact with blood on the stopper or around the outer rim of the tube
as well as from blood splattering upon opening the tube
