EDTA Tubes

EDTA Tubes are specialized blood collection tubes used for hematology testing and whole blood analysis. These tubes contain Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) as an anticoagulant, which prevents blood clotting by binding calcium, thereby preserving the cellular components of blood for accurate laboratory evaluation.

Key Features

Contains K2/K3 EDTA anticoagulant for effective prevention of coagulation.
Ensures excellent preservation of red cells, white cells, and platelets.
Ideal for complete blood count (CBC) and hematology studies.
Provides accurate cell morphology and stability for reliable results.
Leak-proof, sterile, and designed for safe vacuum blood collection.
Color-coded Lavender/Purple cap for easy identification.

Applications

Complete Blood Count (CBC)
Hemoglobin Testing
Peripheral Smear Examination
Blood Grouping
Hematology Analysis using 3-Part & 5-Part Analysers
HbA1c Testing

Advantages

Prevents clot formation without altering cell structure.
Maintains sample integrity for extended testing time.
Ensures precise and reproducible diagnostic outcomes.
Compatible with automated hematology analysers.

EDTA Tubes are an essential component in clinical laboratories, hospitals, and diagnostic centers for accurate hematological investigations.
