Disposable Plastic 0.5-1ml EDTA Micro Blood Collection Tube

Purple EDTA micro blood collection tube is a kind of blood collection tube widely used in medical and testing fields.
Ingredients and functions
The tube contains ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) salt, common ones are EDTA-K2 (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid dipotassium) or EDTA-K3 (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tripotassium). The main function of EDTA is to prevent blood coagulation by combining with calcium ions in the blood to form a stable chelate. It can effectively maintain the morphology and structure of cell components in the blood and is particularly suitable for blood cell analysis.
Scope of application
Blood routine test: It is the preferred blood collection tube for blood routine examination. It can accurately measure the red blood cell, white blood cell, platelet count, and related parameters in the blood, providing an important basis for doctors to diagnose anemia, infection, blood system diseases, etc.
Genetic testing: In some genetic testing projects, blood samples collected by purple EDTA micro blood collection tubes are also often used, because it can better maintain the integrity of blood cells, which is conducive to the extraction of high-quality nucleic acids for genetic analysis.
Advantages
Good anticoagulation effect: EDTA can quickly and stably anticoagulate, ensuring that blood samples remain uncoagulated for a long time, which is convenient for transportation and storage.
Little impact on cell morphology: It can effectively maintain the morphology and structure of blood cells and ensure the accuracy of test results.
Micro-collection: It is suitable for testing scenarios that only require a small amount of blood samples, reducing the pain and discomfort of patients.

What is a Micro Capillary Tube?

A micro blood collection tube is a container for collecting small amounts of blood samples.
Its main features are as follows:
Small and portable: usually small in size, easy to carry and operate, suitable for occasions where a small amount of blood sample is needed for testing.
Accurate collection: can accurately collect trace amounts of blood, reducing the discomfort caused to patients by collecting too much blood, especially suitable for infants, the elderly, and weak patients who have difficulty in blood collection.
Wide range of uses: It is used in clinical testing, medical research, and other fields. It can be used for a variety of testing items such as blood routine, biochemical index testing, coagulation function testing, etc.
