Product overview

Our Disposable Medical Consumable EDTA Blood Collection Tubes (purple top) are designed for reliable hematology specimen collection, stabilization, and transport. Available in both plastic (PET) and glass formats, and in common volumes (2 mL, 3 mL, 4 mL, 5 mL, 7 mL, 10 mL), these tubes ensure reproducible blood-to-anticoagulant ratios and consistent performance across routine and high-throughput laboratory workflows.

Key benefits — Why choose these EDTA tubes

• Accurate hematology results: EDTA anticoagulant prevents clotting while preserving cell morphology for complete blood counts and differential analysis.

• Consistent additive delivery: Additive is spray-coated (K2) or supplied in liquid form (K3) in strict manufacturing control to ensure uniform distribution and correct blood-to-anticoagulant ratio.

• Vacuum integrity: Manufactured and tested for vacuum stability to deliver correct fill volumes and sampling reliability.

• Compatibility: Compatible with standard multi-sample needles and most automated hematology analyzers; suitable for centrifugation and downstream testing.

• Sterile and non-pyrogenic: Produced in controlled environments; sterilized and packaged to clinical standards for safe sample handling.

Product features

• Tube color: Purple (EDTA)

• Anticoagulant: EDTA (K2 spray-coated or K3 liquid)

• Material: PET (plastic) or glass options

• Closure: Hemogard / rubber stopper — tight seal for vacuum retention

• Sterility: Gamma sterilized or ETO (depending on SKU)

• Shelf life: typically 12–36 months, depending on storage — check the lot label for expiry

• Regulatory / Quality: Manufactured under ISO quality systems; options for CE marking/supplier 510(k) documentation are available upon request for specific SKUs.

The Use of Different Vacuum EDTA Tubes

Clinical indications & intended use

Designed for collection, transport, and short-term storage of human venous blood for hematology assays (CBC, reticulocyte count, blood typing and other whole-blood analyses). Not intended for therapeutic use; for in vitro diagnostic procedures only. Follow your laboratory’s standard operating procedures for specimen collection and handling.

Handling and instructions

1. Inspect tube integrity and expiry before use.

2. Use appropriate venipuncture technique and a matching needle/hub for vacuum tubes.

3. Fill to the indicated volume; do not underfill or overfill — correct blood: anticoagulant ratio is critical (standard is 1:9).

4. Immediately invert gently 8–10 times after collection to mix blood and anticoagulant; avoid vigorous shaking.

5. Store and transport at recommended temperatures; centrifuge where required per assay protocol.

6. Dispose of used tubes as medical waste in accordance with local regulations.

Quality assurance & certifications

• Manufactured in facilities that observe ISO quality management practices.

• Additive application and vacuum retention are validated to ensure lot-to-lot consistency.

• Available documentation: Certificate of Analysis (CoA), sterility certificate, and, for specific SKUs, CE supportive documentation on request.

Regulatory & safety statements

This product is an in vitro diagnostic medical device. Users must follow local regulations and institutional policies for clinical specimen collection and disposal. For documentation (MSDS, sterility and test reports), request the relevant lot documentation when placing an order.
