Objectives Choosing the right device for blood collection is an issue that is frequently encountered in laboratory medicine. The purpose of this study was to compare the quality of the samples collected in terms of hemolysis index, pain intensity and tube filling rates of the samples drawn with BD Vacutainer ®  EclipseNeedle and BD Vacutainer Ultra-Touch™ Butterfly Blood Collection Set, which is currently used in laboratories. Methods Blood samples were drawn from the 44 apparently healthy adult individuals from different arm sites by routine phlebotomy into Citrate, SST and EDTA tubes in Karapınar State Hospital. K, P, AST, LDH tests and hemolysis index were analyzed by Mindray BS-800 chemistry analyzer. Complete blood count (CBC) was determined by Mindray BC 6000. Results There was no significant difference in K, P, AST, LDH and CBC values between the devices for hemolysis (p&gt;0.05). No significant difference was found out with respect to visual hemolysis and hemolysis index, tube filling speed and pain intensity between the devices. Conclusions Our findings demonstrate that two sets may used for venipuncture blood collection without creating additional hemolysis risk.
