Overview
An EDTA Tube is a specialized blood collection vessel utilizing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid as an anticoagulant. Manufactured from medical-grade PETG or polypropylene, the inner surface is coated with precise EDTA salt concentrations to chelate calcium ions, ensuring accurate hematological analysis without altering cell morphology.
Application
- Clinical Laboratories: Automated hematology analyzers for CBC tests.
- Diagnostic Centers: Plasma separation and DNA extraction protocols.
- Blood Banks: Sample storage and compatibility testing equipment.
Precautions
- Storage: Maintain between 15°C and 25°C; avoid direct sunlight.
- Handling: Do not exceed 0.5 MPa pressure during transport.
- Maintenance: Inspect seals for integrity; discard if leakage or contamination occurs.
