BD Microtainer® MAP Microtube
for Automated Process
Instrument Compatibility Guide for Sysmex® Instrumentation
Every Drop of Blood Counts
The BD Microtainer MAP Microtube for Automated Process provides another opportunity to decrease iatrogenic blood loss
due to diagnostic testing. It can provide the capability for low volume blood draws, especially in patients with poor venous
access, and it can decrease the number of sample processing steps.
Sysmex supports blood conservation programs with a goal of helping laboratories make every drop of blood count while
delivering streamlined, standardized sample processing.
The following chart is provided to inform users of the compatibility of this new sample tube with various Sysmex
hematology lab systems.
