A procedure in which a needle is used to take blood from a vein, usually for laboratory testing. A blood draw may also be done to remove extra red blood cells from the blood, to treat certain blood disorders. Also called phlebotomy and venipuncture.

From blood lancets, syringes made of plastic or glass, capillary tubes, or blood diluting pipets, Arkanlabs offers a complete range of products to meet all of your needs.

Blood Tubes 

A Vacutainer blood collection tube is a sterile glass or plastic test tube with a colored rubber stopper creating a vacuum seal inside of the tube, facilitating the drawing of a predetermined volume of liquid.

Capillaries

Capillary blood collection for routine testing is done with sterile blood lancets. The one-piece instrument has an ergonomically designed grip and is ready to use right away. The light-weight preemie and newborn alternatives provide shallow and consistent punctures necessary to acquire blood specimens and are available in a variety of incision depths. Clear channels on single-use disposable blood lancets make it easy to see when the necessary sample quantity is attained. When handling, the retractable needle or blade types provide optimum safety.

Swabs

Swabs for clinical usage are designed to aid in health inspections and, if necessary, treatment. Medical practitioners use absorbent applicators to collect DNA samples from bodily cavities in order to diagnose hereditary illnesses and disorders. The flat depressors help to improve observation by gently pushing muscles away. The soft-ended swabs allow medical staff to apply pressure without causing discomfort to the patient. The sterile swabs for clinical usage are disposable to prevent cross-contamination and arrive sterile.

Syringes

Medical-grade polymers, such as polypropylene barrels and polyethylene plungers, are used in sterile medical syringes. These sterile, latex-free inert syringes contain no rubber, silicone oil, or styrene. They are free of the pollutants that are commonly found in disposables. Sampling, mixing, and filtering may all be done using syringes. These smooth-drawing syringes with positive safety stops are perfect for preventing accidental spillage. They're graded in precise, easy-to-read increments for quick and easy use in a crowded office.
