The BD Microtainer MAP Microtube (K₂EDTA, 1.0 mg) is designed specifically for micro-volume blood collection and analysis where sample volume is limited—such as pediatrics, geriatrics, oncology, or critical care settings. Its compact tube size (13 × 75 mm) and low draw volume requirement (≈250-500 µL) make it well-suited for capillary or micro-venous draws, helping reduce patient discomfort and minimize blood loss. The lavender cap signals the K₂EDTA anticoagulant additive, which ensures proper anticoagulation of the sample, making it appropriate for hematology and lead testing workflows. 363706

From a workflow and instrumentation standpoint, this microtube is optimized for automated processing: it features a one-piece design with an integrated collector (no assembly required), visible fill lines for 250, 375 and 500 µL to guide phlebotomists, and a pierceable cap compatible with instrument probes—allowing seamless transition from collection to analyzer without additional manual handling. The design supports full-size patient identification labels and aims to enhance safety, reduce assembly errors, and streamline lab operations.

Clinically, the use of K₂EDTA at 1.0 mg within this tube ensures that the sample remains stable and anticoagulated for downstream hematology testing, while the small volume format lessens the burden on vulnerable patients. The product supports high throughput labs or point-of-care collection sites that must integrate micro-collection into automated workflows. In sum, the BD Microtainer MAP offers a reliable, efficient and patient-friendly solution for micro-blood-collection scenarios where standard tubes are too large or impractical.
