EDTA Tube

These tubes contain EDTA, which inhibits the coagulation process by eliminating calcium in the blood. They are available in K2 – EDTA or K3 – EDTA, with K3 – EDTA providing a stronger anticoagulant effect. This results in greater RBC shrinkage and a larger increase in cell volume upon standing. The tubes are ultrasonically and finely coated to ensure accurate additives. After filling with blood, the tube should be inverted 8-10 times for adequate mixing and anticoagulation. Centrifugation is recommended at 1100 g for 10 minutes at 18-25° C (only for EDTA tubes with separator gel). All tubes are supplied in bulk cartons of 1000 or 1200 tubes per box.
