Bradley EDTA K3 Vacuum Blood Collection Tube - 3ml Pack of 100 Pieces (BL-7007)

The Bradley EDTA K3 Vacuum Blood Collection Tube, with a 3ml capacity, is engineered for precise anticoagulation and reliable blood collection, primarily for hematological analyses. This tube is designed for venous blood collection, ensuring sample integrity for a wide range of diagnostic tests.

Each tube is coated with EDTA K3, a tripotassium salt of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid, which acts as an effective anticoagulant by chelating calcium ions essential for the blood clotting cascade. This mechanism preserves blood in its liquid, whole-blood state, maintaining the stability of cellular components for accurate analysis. The tubes are sterile and feature a vacuum technology for a controlled blood draw, ensuring standardized sample volume and reducing variability.

Crafted from high-quality plastic materials, specifically transparent PET (polyethylene terephthalate), these tubes offer durability and minimize the risk of injury and contamination due to their virtually unbreakable construction. The clear PET body also allows for easy visual confirmation of the contents.

Key Features : 

EDTA K3 anticoagulant efficiently preserves sample integrity by chelating calcium ions, preventing blood clot formation and maintaining cellular component stability for accurate hematological analysis.
Designed for venous blood collection, these tubes are suitable for whole blood analysis in hematology, including complete blood counts (CBC), blood typing, molecular diagnostics, DNA extraction, genetic tests, and peripheral blood smears.
Constructed from transparent PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic, the tubes offer enhanced safety with their virtually unbreakable design, reducing the risk of injury and contamination during handling and transport.
The tubes are sterile and utilize vacuum technology for a controlled blood draw, ensuring consistent sample volume and immediate use in clinical settings.
