Venous Blood Collection Tubes with ACD (Acid Citrate Dextrose) Solution A are used to preserve whole blood samples. The ACD acts as an anticoagulant and preservative, maintaining cell viability and function. These tubes are typically used for:

  1. HLA Typing: For organ transplant compatibility.
  2. DNA and Genetic Studies: Where it's essential to maintain the integrity of cells.
  3. Platelet Function Tests: Required for certain specialized tests.

The solution helps prevent coagulation and provides an optimal environment for the preservation of cellular components.

BD Vacutainer Venous Blood Collection Tubes with ACD Solution A Additive are specifically crafted for the preservation and stability of whole blood samples, ideal for specialized tests such as antigen, HLA, or DNA studies. With a 6 mL capacity and a distinctive yellow cap, these tubes provide reliable results in clinical and research settings.

Details and Features

  • Dimensions: 13mm x 100mm, accommodating a 6 mL draw volume suitable for a variety of testing needs.
  • ACD Solution A: Contains Acid Citrate Dextrose, enhancing the preservation of blood cell integrity for extended periods.
  • Yellow Cap: Color-coded for easy identification in a lab environment.
  • Packaging: Comes in boxes of 100, ensuring lab efficiency and preparedness for high-throughput testing.

Mechanism of Action

The ACD Solution A additive functions by maintaining pH stability and inhibiting coagulation through citrate, which chelates calcium ions. The dextrose acts as a nutrient to sustain cell viability, making the tubes perfect for tests requiring intact living cells.

Directions for Use

  1. Preparation: Assemble all necessary equipment and prepare the patient for venipuncture.
  2. Collection: Perform venipuncture, allowing the tube to fill to the 6 mL mark to ensure the correct blood-to-additive ratio.
  3. Mixing: Immediately invert the tube 8-10 times to mix blood with the ACD solution evenly.
  4. Processing: Transfer to a laboratory environment following protocols to maintain sample stability.

Warnings

  • Correct Filling: Ensure proper volume collection to maintain test accuracy and sample viability.
  • Handling and Disposal: Use caution during handling to prevent spills and ensure proper disposal of sharps.
  • Storage Conditions: Store at room temperature and protect from direct sunlight; avoid extreme temperatures.
  • Single Use: Designed for single-use only. Reusing or attempting to sterilize may compromise sample integrity.
  • Expiration Date: Use before the expiration date displayed on the packaging to guarantee effectiveness.

    Phlebotomy needles & butterfly sets (multi-sample, straight, winged infusion) Vacutainer tubes & collection vials Tourniquets Alcohol prep pads & antiseptic wipes Sterile gauze pads & bandages Sharps containers Gloves (nitrile or latex-free) Needle holders/adapters Syringes (for specific collections) Blood culture bottles (as needed) Lab labels and requisitions

  • Is a Phlebotomist Higher than a CNA?

    Phlebotomists and CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) have different qualifications: Phlebotomists specialize in blood collection and laboratory testing. CNAs provide basic patient care. Neither is “higher,” but a phlebotomist’s work is more specialized in specimen collection.

  • What's the Hardest Part of Phlebotomy?

    Finding veins in challenging patients (elderly, children, dehydrated) Managing patient anxiety or needle phobia Maintaining infection control & handling biohazards

  • What Are the 7 Duties of a Phlebotomist?

    Preparing phlebotomy supplies and verifying test orders Patient identification and consent Blood collection using proper technique Labeling and documenting blood samples Ensuring patient comfort and post-draw care Maintaining infection control and safety Transporting or processing specimens for laboratory testing

  • How Many Patients Do a Phlebotomist Draw in One Hour?

    Experienced phlebotomists may draw 10–20 patients per hour, depending on patient population and collection complexity.

  • What Shoes Should a Phlebotomist Wear?

    Comfortable, closed-toe, non-slip shoes are required for safety and long shifts in clinical or lab settings.

  • What Is the First Thing a Phlebotomist Should Do?

    Verify the patient’s identity and confirm the blood test order before preparing supplies or starting the draw.

  • Can a Phlebotomist Give Shots?

    Phlebotomists generally do not administer shots/vaccinations. Their role is focused on blood collection, but in some states/countries—additional certification may allow limited injections.

  • What Is the Number One Rule in Phlebotomy?

    Accurate patient identification and labeling is the #1 rule. Failure here is the greatest source of medical errors.

  • What Is the Difference Between a Phlebotomist 1 and 2?

    Phlebotomist 1: Entry-level, basic blood draws, routine collections. Phlebotomist 2: Advanced; may draw pediatric, geriatric, or “difficult stick” patients, process special specimens, train others, or manage supplies.
