The BD Vacutainer Glass Fluoride Tube is an essential tool for collecting and preserving blood samples for glucose and electrolyte testing. Its construction from durable glass ensures specimen integrity, while the fluoride additive prevents glycolysis and preserves glucose levels for up to 24 hours, allowing for delayed processing. With a 10.0 mL vacuum capacity and a gray stopper with a yellow band, this tube is easily identifiable and optimizes sample collection. By using this tube, healthcare professionals can ensure the accuracy of glucose and electrolyte measurements, which is crucial for reliable diagnoses and treatment decisions. Its cost-effectiveness and compliance with CLSI guidelines make it an ideal choice for high-volume testing in a range of settings, including diabetes screening, point-of-care testing, and research and clinical laboratories.
