Our professional-grade EDTA Tubes are engineered for high-precision hematology and molecular diagnostics. Specifically designed for blood collection, these vacuum tubes utilize Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid as a potent anticoagulant to prevent clotting by chelating calcium, ensuring the preservation of cellular morphology and providing stable plasma or whole blood samples for critical laboratory analysis.
Manufactured under strict medical-grade standards, our EDTA collection tubes feature high-transparency PET material and a secure sealing system to prevent leakage and contamination. Whether used in routine clinical screenings or advanced research, these tubes provide the reliability and consistency required for accurate diagnostic results across various medical institutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
EDTA tubes are primarily used for hematology tests, such as Complete Blood Counts (CBC), because they prevent blood clotting while maintaining the structure and size of blood cells.
EDTA acts as a chelating agent that binds calcium ions in the blood. Since calcium is essential for the coagulation cascade, its removal effectively prevents the blood from clotting.
K2 EDTA is generally preferred for hematology as it is less likely to affect cell volume and morphology compared to K3 EDTA, though both are widely used depending on laboratory protocols.
Tubes should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, following the temperature guidelines specified on the packaging to ensure additive stability.
Yes, our EDTA tubes are designed with universal dimensions and vacuum pressures, making them fully compatible with all standard automated sampling systems.
It is recommended to gently invert the tube 8-10 times immediately after collection to ensure the EDTA is thoroughly mixed with the blood to prevent micro-clots.
