LabNotes - Volume 19, No. 1, 2009
From The Editor
In this issue of LabNotes, we travel back in time to 1949 when the first evacuated blood collection tube was invented and introduced to modern medicine. This early breakthrough technology (evacuated tube and needle), offered by BD and known as the Evacutainer, became a standard method for collecting blood for laboratory testing. Indeed, it remains a ubiquitous worldwide means for collecting blood specimens throughout healthcare and medical research to this day. Regards,
