mb+ K3 EDTA Vacuum Blood Collection Tubes - 13 x 75mm 3ml Pack of 100 Tubes

The mb+ K3 EDTA Vacuum Blood Collection Tubes, measuring 13 x 75mm with a 3ml draw volume, are engineered for reliable blood sample collection in hematology and molecular diagnostics. These tubes contain K3 EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tripotassium salt) as an anticoagulant, which functions by chelating calcium ions in the blood, thereby preventing coagulation. This mechanism ensures the preservation of whole blood samples for accurate analysis.

Designed as sterile, evacuated tubes, they facilitate a consistent and accurate blood collection volume through their vacuum-sealed mechanism. The tubes are constructed from medical-grade Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), a durable and break-resistant plastic that maintains sample integrity and is non-toxic and pyrogen-free for safe clinical use.

These tubes are suitable for a wide array of in-vitro diagnostic examinations, including Complete Blood Counts (CBCs), blood smears, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), DNA extraction, and genetic tests. Their design supports efficient workflow in clinical and diagnostic laboratories.
