Vaccum Blood Collection Tube, EDTA K3, 2ml, Double Cap, Pack of 100

• Type: Vacuum Blood Collection Tube
• Anticoagulant: EDTA K3 (Tripotassium Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid)
• Volume: 2ml
• Cap Design: Double Cap
• Quantity: Pack of 100

Key Features:

1. Vacuum-Sealed Design:
   • The tube uses a vacuum to automatically draw a precise amount of blood (2ml) into the tube. This ensures consistent sample volumes and minimizes the risk of contamination.
2. EDTA K3 Anticoagulant:
   • EDTA K3 is an anticoagulant that binds calcium ions, preventing the blood from clotting. This is especially important for hematological tests, as it helps maintain the integrity of the blood sample for accurate analysis.
3. Double Cap Mechanism:
   • The double cap provides an additional layer of protection against leakage and contamination. The inner cap seals the tube securely, while the outer cap adds extra security, making it ideal for safe transportation and storage.
4. High-Quality Material:
   • The tubes are made from medical-grade, clear plastic or glass that is resistant to breakage. The material is also designed to be non-reactive with the blood sample, ensuring that the sample’s composition remains unchanged during storage and transport.
5. Easy Identification:
   • The tubes often have clear labeling or color-coded caps (typically lavender or purple for EDTA tubes) to quickly identify the type of anticoagulant used. The label provides space for patient information and other necessary details.
6. Sterile and Disposable:
   • Each tube is sterilized to ensure that it is free from contaminants before use. The tubes are designed for single use, which reduces the risk of cross-contamination between patients.
7. Wide Application:
   • These tubes are commonly used in clinical laboratories, hospitals, and blood banks for hematology tests, such as Complete Blood Counts (CBC), blood typing, and more.
8. Compatibility:
   • Compatible with various blood collection needles and holders. The vacuum inside the tube is calibrated to draw blood quickly and efficiently, minimizing patient discomfort.

Usage Instructions:

• Before Use: Ensure that the tube is properly labeled with the patient’s information.
• During Collection: Attach the tube to a blood collection needle, and allow the vacuum to draw the blood into the tube.
• After Collection: Gently invert the tube several times to mix the blood with the anticoagulant.
• Storage: Store the collected blood samples at the recommended temperature until testing.

Applications:

• Hematology Tests: Such as CBC, blood typing, and blood smears.
• Blood Banking: For sample storage and cross-matching.
• Research: Used in laboratories for various research applications involving whole blood.

This product is essential in medical settings where blood analysis is a critical part of patient diagnostics and treatment.
