The EDTA inhibits the coagulation process by eliminating the calcium in the blood.
Available in K2·EDTA & K3·EDTA.
The anticoagulant effect of K3·EDTA is stronger than K2·EDTA. K3·EDTA results in greater RBC shrinkage and produces a larger increase in cell volume on standing.
Ultrasonically and finely coated to make sure accurate additives.
After the tube has been filled with blood, immediately invert the tube 8-10 times to mix and ensure adequate anticoagulation of the specimen.
Centrifugation: 1100g for 10 minutes at 18-25℃（Only for EDTA tubes with separator gel）
