About K3 EDTA Vacuum Blood Collection Tube

The K3-EDTA anticoagulant plasma is used especially for biological assay of pathogenic microorganisms, bacterial molecules and parasites. These 3 ml tubes are 13 x 75 mm and are made with premium grade PET. These tubes are easy to identify owing to their colour coded cap.

High-Quality PET Material for Enhanced Durability

These blood collection tubes are constructed from PET, a durable and medical-grade plastic. This choice of material ensures the tube is strong, resistant to breakage, and maintains sample integrity during collection and transport. PET is non-toxic and pyrogen-free, supporting safe clinical use.

K3 EDTA Anticoagulant for Reliable Hematology Results

Each tube is pre-filled with K3 EDTA, a potent anticoagulant, to prevent blood clotting. This facilitates accurate hematology test results, as cellular components remain preserved. The consistent dosing of K3 EDTA ensures reliable and repeatable laboratory analysis.

Sterile and Safe, Conforming to Global Standards

Sterilized through gamma irradiation, each tube offers a pyrogen-free and contamination-resistant environment. The color-coded lavender/purple cap adheres to international identification norms, making these tubes suitable for diverse healthcare settings worldwide.

FAQ's of K3 EDTA Vacuum Blood Collection Tube:

Q: How is the K3 EDTA Vacuum Blood Collection Tube sterilized?

A: The tubes are sterilized using gamma irradiation, a highly effective method that ensures sterility and maintains a pyrogen-free environment for blood collection.

Q: What are the main benefits of using a PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) tube for blood collection?

A: PET tubes are lightweight, shatter-resistant, non-toxic, and provide excellent chemical resistance, ensuring safety and reliability during blood sample collection, handling, and transport.

Q: When should I use K3 EDTA blood collection tubes?

A: These tubes are specifically designed for hematology tests such as complete blood counts or blood cell analysis, where preserving cell morphology and preventing coagulation is critical.

Q: Where can the expiry date and draw volume be found on the tube?

A: The expiry date is clearly printed on the tube, and the draw volume is indicated by graduation marks on the writable label, allowing users to verify both at a glance before use.

Q: What process ensures the blood sample remains unclotted in the tube?

A: K3 EDTA tubes are pre-loaded with potassium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, an anticoagulant that chelates calcium, effectively preventing blood coagulation and preserving the sample for analysis.

Q: How should the tube be used during blood collection?

A: After venipuncture, the tube is attached to a compatible collection needle. The vacuum within the tube draws the specified volume of blood, and the pre-loaded anticoagulant ensures it remains unclotted. Tubes are for single use only and should be disposed of properly after use.
