BD Vacutainer Rapid Serum Tube is a 5 mL, 13 × 100 mm plastic “orange top” RST built for fast turnaround in STAT chemistry and urgent workflows. A thrombin-based clot activator, together with silicone and micronized silica, promotes clot formation in about 5 minutes so samples can be spun at ≥ 4,000 × g and moved to analyzers quickly. The Hemogard safety closure supports a tight, leak-resistant seal to help limit exposure during handling, while PET construction fits common racks and automation in emergency departments, urgent care, and physician office labs.
Features and Benefits
- Rapid clot performance for STAT serum testing with typical clot time near 5 minutes.
- Thrombin activator plus silicone and micronized silica coating supports fast, consistent clot formation.
- Hemogard safety closure helps reduce splash and aerosol risk during capping and transport.
- 5 mL draw in a 13 × 100 mm form factor that fits standard centrifuge carriers and pre-analytical automation.
- PET plastic tube reduces breakage compared with glass and supports routine lab handling.
- Ready for quick centrifugation at ≥ 4,000 × g to accelerate serum separation and reporting.
