Livingstone Blood Collection Plastic Tube with K2 EDTA — 10 mL, Purple/Lavender Cap (100/Pack) is a standard haematology tube designed for whole blood collection and preservation. Dipotassium EDTA (K2 EDTA) is the anticoagulant of choice for haematological investigations, preserving cellular components of the blood for accurate analysis on automated blood cell analysers.
Key Features
- K2 EDTA anticoagulant — recommended by international haematology standards for blood cell preservation
- 10 mL capacity, 16 x 100 mm — generous volume for full blood count panels
- Purple/Lavender non-spill cap — standard colour coding for EDTA haematology specimens
- Plastic construction — shatter-resistant and lightweight for safe handling
- Compatible with automated blood cell analysers
- 100 per pack — suitable for high-throughput laboratory environments
Ideal For
- Full blood counts (FBC) and differential white cell counts
- Immunohaematology and blood group testing
- Haematology departments, pathology labs, and blood collection centres
Usage note: Invert gently 8–10 times immediately after collection to ensure thorough mixing of blood with EDTA. Do not shake vigorously — this may cause haemolysis.
K2 EDTA prevents clotting by chelating calcium ions, preserving red blood cell morphology and platelet integrity — essential for accurate haematological analysis.
