Welcome to the BD Barricor™ Scientific Forum! It all started in April 2018 at the BD Innovation and Engagement Center in Eysins, Switzerland. Twenty-four laboratory professionals shared their knowledge of BD Barricor™ and showed this tube’s impact on laboratories and patients.

Watch laboratorians describe their "BD Barricor™ User Experiences" and find out how to switch from serum to plasma in the "Converting to Plasma & BD Barricor™" videos!

Converting to plasma & BD Barricor™

Laboratory medicine has used serum as a sample of choice for decades. Transitioning to plasma has several advantages. However, it is sometimes perceived as a difficult barrier to overcome. BD Vacutainer® Barricor™ facilitates this transition thanks to its unique set of features. This session focuses on transitioning to plasma samples and the impact that BD Barricor™ has on this switch.
