Our EDTA tubes are coated with K3EDTA and are used in the
examination of whole blood in hematology and can be used in
direct sampling analyzers without actually being opened.
EDTA binds the calcium ions and therefore blocks the
coagulation cascade.
Erythrocytes, leucocytes and thrombocytes in an EDTA
anticoagulated blood sample are stable and can last for up to
24 hours.
