For glucose and lactate testing where a smaller draw volume is preferred, the BD Vacutainer® Sodium Fluoride and Potassium Oxalate 4 mL Tube provides the same reliable glucose preservation as the 6 mL format in a more patient-friendly size. The gray color-coded BD Hemogard™ closure provides instant visual identification, and the dual additive formulation inhibits glycolysis and prevents coagulation to preserve glucose levels from collection through analysis.

Sodium Fluoride and Potassium Oxalate for Glucose Preservation

Sodium fluoride (NaF) inhibits the glycolytic enzymes that break down glucose in whole blood after collection, preventing falsely low glucose results that can occur when specimens are not processed promptly. Potassium oxalate (KOx) acts as an anticoagulant by chelating calcium ions, preventing clot formation and allowing plasma to be separated for testing. Together, these additives provide a stable glucose specimen that supports accurate results even in high-volume or delayed processing workflows.

Gray Cap for Glucose Determination

The gray closure is the recognized color code for glucose determination tubes. The translucent tube allows visual inspection of the specimen before processing, and the silicone coated closure minimizes cellular activation during collection and transport.
