EDTA Tube

The innovative VACUETTE® blood collection tubes made from practically unbreakable plastic have become well established on the market. They have made the drawing of blood a safer and more hygienic process. The use of PET plastic offers the advantage that the tubes are as clear as glass.

•  The inner wall of VACUETTE® EDTA tubes is coated with spray-dried K2EDTA or K3EDTA.
•  EDTA acts as an anticoagulant, binding the calcium ions and interrupting the clotting cascade. These tubes are used primarily in haematology.
•  VACUETTE® K2EDTA tubes with separator gel are particularly suitable for molecular diagnostics and viral load determination.
