>> Features
The EDTA inhibits the coagulation process by eliminating the calcium in the blood.
Available in K2·EDTA & K3·EDTA.
The anticoagulant effect of K3·EDTA is stronger than K2·EDTA. K3·EDTA results in greater RBC shrinkage and produces a larger increase in cell volume on standing.
Ultrasonically and finely coated to make sure accurate additives.
After the tube has been filled with blood, immediately invert the tube 8-10 times to mix and ensure adequate anticoagulation of the specimen.
>> Purpose
Complete Blood Count (CBC): Red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), and platelet (PLT) counts. Hemoglobin (HGB) and hematocrit (HCT) measurements.
Red Cell Indices: Mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), etc.
Molecular Biology & Genetics: DNA/RNA Extraction, Flow Cytometry.
Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c): Monitors long-term glucose control in diabetics...

>> FAQ
Q1. What is the Difference Between Heparin and EDTA?
A: EDTA is a calcium chelator that binds to Ca ions in the plasma to prevent blood clotting, whereas heparin inhibits the coagulation cascade by acting with a kind of thrombin. The most frequent application of EDTA is for hematological testing (red and white blood cell count, Hb, blood group). Heparin is used in clinical chemistry assays to measure cholesterol, CRP, hormones, and other substances. If you want to perform PCR test , use EDTA since heparin interferes with PCR.
Q2. What is the Difference Between EDTA K2 and EDTA K3?
A: For routine CBC, hematology, and molecular tests, both are interchangeable with proper mixing. If manual blood smears are critical (e.g., malaria diagnosis), EDTA-K₂ may be preferred. For electrolyte testing, avoid both (use heparin or serum tubes instead).
