Edta Test Tubes

Our provided EDTA Test Tubes are used for whole blood hematology determinations and immunohematology testing. It is a anticoagulant of choice in specimen collection and blood cell countinga according to both nccls and the international council for standardization in haematology (icsh)1,2.
It was chosen for the following reasons:
1) k3edta results in greater rbc shrinkage;
2) k3edta produces a larger increase in cell volume on standing; and
3) k3edta is a liquid additive and will result in the dilution of the specimen.

Results of directly measured values can be 1-2% lower than results with k2edta. K2edta is sprayed onto the interior of the plastic tube and like k3edta requires 8-10 inversions for thorough mixing of blood with the anticoagulant.

We offer these EDTA Test Tubes at most affordable prices to our precious customers.
