Microtainer Lithium Heparin Blood Collection Tubes

BD Microtainer Lithium Heparin Tubes support capillary blood collection when sample volume is limited, helping labs prepare plasma for chemistry panels with minimal redraws. Sized for pediatric heelstick, geriatric, and difficult-draw fingerstick collections, these green-cap capillary plasma tubes contain lithium heparin to prevent clotting and are available with or without a separator gel to fit point-of-care and core lab workflows. Translucent tubes aid visual fill verification, while the amber option helps protect light-sensitive analytes in outpatient clinics, urgent care, and mobile screening programs.

Features and Benefits

• Low-volume collection range supports pediatric, geriatric, and difficult-draw patients
• Lithium heparin anticoagulant helps reduce clotting and hemolysis for reliable plasma
• Separator gel options promote clean plasma separation for routine chemistry testing
• Amber variant helps shield bilirubin and other light-sensitive analytes
• Green cap provides quick anticoagulant identification across teams and sites
• Designed for capillary workflows at the bench and point of care to help cut redraws
