BD Vacutainer® Sodium Citrate Coagulation Tube, 2.7 mL Light Blue Hemogard™ (363083)

BD Vacutainer® Sodium Citrate Coagulation Tube, 2.7 mL Light Blue Hemogard™ (MPN 363083) is designed for venous blood specimen collection when a citrate tube is specified for routine coagulation testing workflows. This tube contains 0.109M buffered sodium citrate (equivalent to 3.2% sodium citrate) to support the required blood-to-additive ratio used in coagulation studies, and the tube includes a light blue color-coded closure for quick identification in clinical and laboratory environments.
The tube features BD Hemogard™ technology, with a recessed rubber stopper inside a protective shield designed to help reduce contact with blood on/around the stopper and help reduce splatter when opening. The tube is made from plastic (PET) and is intended to help reduce breakage risk compared with glass tubes, supporting safer handling during collection, transport, and processing.
For ordering accuracy and inventory control, reference MPN 363083.
