BD Microtainer Capillary Blood Collection Tubes Overview
BD Microtainer Lithium Heparin Tubes are designed for capillary blood collection in low-volume clinical settings, enabling precise sample preparation for plasma-based assays. These tubes contain a lithium heparin additive to prevent clotting and are available in formats with or without separator gel, supporting both manual and automated workflows.
With fill capacities ranging from 200 to 600 microliters, BD’s microtainer options are optimized for pediatric, geriatric, and difficult-draw patients without compromising test accuracy or throughput.
Offered in translucent and amber variants, these lithium heparin microtainer tubes accommodate light-sensitive analytes, improve visual verification, and maintain consistent centrifugation profiles. The green cap color standardizes identification across labs, while the available gel barrier variants enhance plasma separation and stability for automated chemistry platforms.
Whether you need a basic plasma collection tube or a gel-enhanced option, BD Microtainer tubes support compliance with capillary draw protocols and reduce redraw rates in point-of-care and outpatient workflows.
