Organised Sampling with Blood Bottles


Our range of blood bottles - also known as blood collection tubes or vacutainer tubes - supports consistent, contamination-free sampling across a variety of clinical applications. Each tube is colour-coded to help practitioners quickly identify the correct additive or treatment type, whether for coagulation testing, glucose analysis, or plasma separation.

Designed for use with standard phlebotomy systems, these tubes ensure secure closure and optimal sample preservation. They're sourced from brands like BD and Kaizen who are known for producing reliable, high-quality blood bottles that maintain integrity from collection to lab processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of blood bottles do you offer?

▼

We stock a wide range of blood bottles, including plain, EDTA, citrate, and gel separator tubes. Each type is colour-coded for easy identification and specific diagnostic use. Common UK blood bottle colour codes include:
- Purple (EDTA): Used for full blood count (FBC), ESR, and blood films. Contains EDTA, which prevents clotting.
- Blue (Citrate): Used for coagulation tests like PT and INR. Contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant.
- Yellow (SST/Clot Activator): Used for biochemistry tests (such as U&E, LFTs, CRP). Contains gel to separate serum after centrifugation.
- Grey (Fluoride Oxalate): Used for glucose and lactate tests. Contains fluoride to inhibit glycolysis.
- Pink (EDTA - crossmatch): Similar to purple but typically used for blood group and crossmatch.
- Green (Heparin): Used for certain specialist biochemistry tests. Contains lithium or sodium heparin.
That being said, always refer to your local trust or lab guidelines, as protocols may vary slightly.
