Understanding EDTA Tubes in Blood Collection: VACUETTE and Vacutainer Systems
The VACUETTE EDTA tube is a high-quality blood collection tube commonly used in hematology for tests that require whole blood or plasma.

The VACUETTE EDTA tube ensures accurate blood cell counts and maintains cellular integrity, making it ideal for tests such as complete blood count (CBC), hemoglobin analysis, and blood typing.
