Description
The lavender-top blood collection tubes containing K2EDTA are designed to prevent blood clotting by chelating calcium ions, making them suitable for hematology and various blood tests.
Key Features:
Additive: K2EDTA (dipotassium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) acts as an anticoagulant by binding calcium ions, interrupting the clotting process.
Tube Size and Volume: The tube is typically 13 mm in diameter and 75 mm in length, with a 4 mL volume, commonly used in hematological tests.
Closure: Comes with a lavender-colored stopper and may include a Hemogard™ closure to minimize the risk of blood exposure.
Considerations:
Mixing: After collection, gently invert the tube 8 to 10 times to ensure proper mixing of the blood with the anticoagulant.
Usage: Primarily used for tests like complete blood counts (CBC), blood smears, and other hematology-related analyses.
Storage: Should be stored at room temperature and protected from extreme temperatures to maintain sample integrity.
Note: Always follow institutional protocols and manufacturer guidelines for proper blood collection, handling, and testing.
