BD Vacutainer® ACD Solution A tubes are versatile blood collection tubes containing Acid Citrate Dextrose (ACD) as an anticoagulant. Designed to preserve erythrocytes for blood group determination, they also serve as an effective solution for preparing Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), widely used in medical and aesthetic treatments. These tubes maintain the integrity of blood samples, enabling accurate diagnostics and enhancing PRP preparation processes.

• Anticoagulant ACD: Prevents blood clotting, ensuring the preservation of erythrocytes for blood group determination and optimal platelet yield for PRP.
• PRP Preparation Compatibility: Ideal for isolating platelet-rich plasma during centrifugation, a critical step in PRP therapy.
• Sterile Interior: Gamma irradiation-sterilised for contamination-free blood collection.
• Consistent Results: Predefined vacuum ensures accurate blood-to-additive ratios, enabling precise blood collection and reliable results.
• Colour-Coded Light Yellow Cap: For quick and easy identification during blood collection and PRP preparation processes.
• Recommended Inversions: 8-10 gentle inversions to mix the blood with ACD for consistent sample integrity.
