Product Description

Key Features

1. Superior Anticoagulation: EDTA K2/K3 effectively chelates calcium to prevent clotting, preserving the natural shape and size of blood cells (RBCs, WBCs, platelets) for up to 24 hours at 2–8°C—essential for accurate cell counting and morphology assessment.
2. Optimized Volume: 5ml capacity provides ample sample for comprehensive hematology tests (e.g., CBC, differential counts), reducing the need for re-collection.
3. Cell Integrity Protection: Smooth inner wall (PET/glass) minimizes cell adhesion and hemolysis, ensuring cells remain viable and morphologically intact for analysis.
4. Instant Recognition: Purple/lavender cap (industry standard for EDTA tubes) enables quick differentiation from other blood collection tubes, lowering handling errors in high-throughput settings.
5. Broad Compatibility: Works with automated hematology analyzers (e.g., for CBC) and manual microscopy, fitting seamlessly into routine and specialized lab workflows.

Applications

• Routine Hematology Testing: Complete Blood Count (CBC), including hemoglobin, hematocrit, RBC/WBC/platelet counts, and differential leukocyte analysis.
• Cellular Morphology Studies: Evaluation of abnormal cell shapes (e.g., sickle cells, target cells) in conditions like anemia, leukemia, or infections.
• Pre-Surgical Screening: Assessment of blood cell counts to evaluate patient readiness for surgery (e.g., platelet levels to assess bleeding risk).
• Chronic Disease Monitoring: Tracking changes in blood cell counts for patients with conditions like leukemia, thrombocytopenia, or bone marrow disorders.
