Product Introduction

The Lavender Top EDTA Tube is a vacuum blood collection tube widely used in clinical hematology. It is pre-filled with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA K2 or K3), which effectively chelates calcium ions and prevents blood coagulation. With stable anticoagulant performance and excellent preservation of blood cell morphology, the Lavender Top EDTA Tube is commonly used in complete blood count (CBC), blood typing, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and related tests.

Additive Information

Each Lavender Top EDTA Tube contains a precise amount of EDTA anticoagulant. K2EDTA is applied through spray-drying for even distribution on the inner wall, while K3EDTA is a liquid form. Both comply with ISO and CLSI standards, ensuring sample integrity and analytical accuracy.

Material & Structure

  • Tube Body Material: Available in PET plastic or neutral borosilicate glass.

  • Cap Color: Standardized lavender (purple) cap, universally recognized in laboratory settings.

  • Cap Seal: Butyl rubber stopper with excellent puncture and sealing performance, compatible with automated blood collection systems.

  • Volume Options: 2ml, 3ml, 4ml, 5ml, and customized sizes available.

  • Vacuum Accuracy: Precisely controlled vacuum volume ensures consistent blood collection and prevents dilution errors.

Product Advantages

  • Effective Anticoagulation: EDTA rapidly binds calcium ions and inhibits clotting cascades.

  • Excellent Cell Preservation: Maintains the original morphology of red and white blood cells for accurate analysis.

  • High System Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of automated analyzers and blood collection devices.

  • Reliable Sealing: Prevents leakage and contamination, ensuring sample safety.

  • OEM Customization Available: Private labeling and packaging solutions provided for branding needs.

Instructions for Use

  1. Insert the Lavender Top EDTA Tube into the blood collection needle holder.

  2. Perform venipuncture and collect blood until the preset volume is reached.

  3. Gently invert the tube 6–8 times to mix blood with the anticoagulant.

  4. Avoid vigorous shaking to prevent hemolysis or bubble formation before analysis.

Precautions

  • Not suitable for coagulation tests (e.g., PT, APTT).

  • Use before the expiration date to ensure vacuum efficiency.

  • Single-use only. Dispose of according to medical waste regulations.

  • Check packaging integrity before use. Do not use if damaged.

EDTA tube is a type of blood collection tube that contains ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as an anticoagulant. EDTA works by binding to calcium ions in the blood, which prevents clotting and helps preserve the sample for laboratory analysis.

Store EDTA tubes at room temperature (4-25°C) and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight to maintain their effectiveness. It is important to check the expiration date on the tubes and avoid using expired products
