Plastic EDTA K2 tube, 10 ml 16 x 100 mm

Plastic tube for vacuum blood extraction, sterile and single-use with EDTA K2 for haematology determinations.

Dimensions: 16x100 mm

Extraction volume: 10 ml

Additive: 10.8 mg of EDTA K2

Tube with EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid), usually tripotassium or dipotassium, for haematological determinations in whole blood.

EDTA inhibits the clotting process by removing calcium from the blood. It reduces platelet activation by protecting the platelets during the contact of the blood with the inner glass surface of the tube.

It is the ideal additive for the count of leukocytes, platelets, and erythrocytes and also for the determination of the leukocyte formula, flow cytometry and lead determination, as it preserves the morphology of the blood cells.
