Blood draw supplies?

Curious as to where is best place to order blood draw supplies? bioPRYN has a kit with 11 tubes for a reasonable price of 15.50 but what if you need more tubes then that? I know the 18x1 needles can be got at TSC. So inquiring where do you all shop for your Vacutainer Tubes?

I use 20G needles for blood draw. 1" length on adults and standard breeds, 3/4" on young stock or minis. I buy my vacutainers by the case (100) because we have over 30 head and seam to go through a lot. My last box I found on Amazon, I also check e-bay or just google for the 10ML red top vacutainer tubes.

My vet gives them to me, but I don't need a huge amount.

PBS animal supply sells them in 100 pks, and when I bought mine (a couple years ago now) they were like 15.00 or 18.00 for all of 'em.

Lasted me a couple years.

I also suggest using 20ga x 1" needles. Any larger and I bet you'd get bleeding.
