Description

Neogen Ideal Blood Collection Tubes are sterile, 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.

These evacuated tubes feature color coded tops and sterile tube interior. Tubes are conveniently pre-labeled. 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. The rubber stopper is recessed inside the plastic shield so any drops left by a blood collection needle remain isolated from potential contact.
