TruCulture Instructional Video - Vacuum 
Blood collection into TruCulture tubes can be conducted either by pulling the plunger before (Vacuum Method) or after (Aspiration Method) connecting the TruCulture tube to the subject. Though both methods are appropriate for the use, the vacuum method is RBM’s phlebotomists preferred method due to ease of use.

Video instructions are also available for alternate collections:

• Collecting TruCulture and additional labs with a priming tube
• Collecting TruCulture and additional labs when a priming tube isn’t available
