The K3E K3EDTA Blood Collection Tube is a high-precision evacuated tube designed for hematology testing that requires whole blood anticoagulated with tripotassium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (K3EDTA). This 6 mL VACUETTE® tube ensures accurate sample preservation by preventing platelet aggregation and maintaining cellular morphology integrity during transport and analysis. Each tube features a pink cap with a black ring and is constructed from PET plastic for superior chemical stability and break resistance.
Engineered for routine laboratory diagnostics, the Vacuette K3E K3EDTA Tube offers a secure pull cap that minimizes aerosol risk during opening. Its interior is precisely coated with K3EDTA to ensure complete mixing of the anticoagulant, supporting consistent test results in clinical chemistry, hematology, and immunohematology workflows. The standardized 13 × 100 mm dimension allows compatibility with most automated blood analyzers, improving efficiency across diverse collection systems.
This EDTA blood collection tube supports a wide range of applications where accurate blood cell counts, hemoglobin measurement, and platelet determination are critical. Its design promotes closed-system sampling, enhancing infection control in hospital and reference laboratory environments.
