Grey Top Blood Collection Tube (Vacutainer) – Fluoride Oxalate Tube for Glucose Testing

The Grey Top Blood Collection Tube, also known as a Grey Top Vacutainer Tube, is a sterile vacuum blood collection tube designed for reliable blood sample collection in clinical laboratories, hospitals, diagnostic centres, and medical facilities. It is commonly used for glucose testing, blood sugar analysis, lactate testing, and other laboratory investigations that require glucose preservation in the sample.

Grey top tubes typically contain additives such as sodium fluoride and an anticoagulant such as potassium oxalate or EDTA, depending on the manufacturer. Sodium fluoride helps slow down glycolysis, supporting more stable glucose levels in the collected blood sample before laboratory analysis. This makes the grey top tube an important choice for accurate glucose-related diagnostic testing.

The vacuum design allows smooth and controlled blood collection, helping reduce handling errors and supporting efficient sample processing in busy laboratory and clinical environments. It is suitable for use by trained healthcare professionals in phlebotomy, outpatient departments, wards, emergency units, and diagnostic laboratories.
