4mL BD Vacutainer® Culture & Sensitivity Tube (Gray)

4mL BD Vacutainer® Culture & Sensitivity Tube (Gray) - Case of 1000

The 4mL BD Culture & Sensitivity Tube is a sterile, single-use solution designed for microbiological urine testing. With a compact 13 x 75 mm format and conventional gray closure, it ensures secure specimen containment while supporting easy identification in clinical workflows. The tube is pre-filled with a preservative blend of boric acid, sodium formate, and sodium borate to maintain sample integrity during transport and delayed processing.

This preservative system inhibits bacterial overgrowth while preserving pathogen viability, enabling accurate culture and sensitivity results. The leak-resistant closure enhances safety during handling, and the tube’s dimensions are optimized for compatibility with BD Vacutainer® systems and automated analyzers.

Ideal for outpatient diagnostics, emergency sample collection, and extended transport conditions, this tube is trusted by laboratories for its reliability, contamination control, and workflow efficiency. It supports high-volume microbiology environments where precision and preservation are critical.
