BD Vacutainer Blood Collection Tube - Lavender Top

These are the lavender top tubes with K₂ EDTA. This is a strong anticoagulant and these tubes are usually used for complete blood counts (CBC). Lavender top tubes are generally used when whole blood is needed for analysis. And now they are available in single tube quantities so you don’t have to buy a huge batch to test a few goats!

Because these are available only in bulk packaging, we break them down for you into sizes that make sense for your unique herd! For that reason, and because you can specify any quantity you choose, we will remove this item from its bulk packaging and place it in a zipping storage bag before shipping. It will not ship in manufacturer packaging.
