Blood collection tubes allow blood to be directly drawn into tubes during venipuncture rather than using syringes. They come in various sizes and contain anticoagulants to prevent clotting. The main types are serum tubes for biochemistry and immunology tests, whole blood tubes, and plasma tubes. Blood collection tubes eliminate the need for syringes and the risky transfer of blood, reducing the chances of exposure for phlebotomists.

2. What is blood collection tube?
The blood collection vacuum tubes have been designed for a certain
amount of blood to be drawn into the tube by vacuum according to the
amount of pre-filled anticoagulant in the tube. With the Vaku-8 evacuated
tube system, the blood is collected directly into the tube during the veni
puncture procedure and is a closed system.
With the syringe method, the blood from the syringe must be transferred
into test tubes after collection and is an open system.
