EDTAK2 anticoagulant tubes contain ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and salt rich blood collection tubes. Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) is an aminobutyric acid that can effectively chelate calcium ions in the blood. Integrating calcium will remove calcium from the reaction site, preventing and terminating endogenous or exogenous coagulation processes, thereby preventing blood clotting. Compared with other anticoagulants, EDTA has less impact on blood cell aggregation and morphology, so EDTA salts (2K, 3K, 2Na) are usually used as anticoagulants. Used for general hematology (blood routine) examination and blood ammonia detection. Cannot be used for blood coagulation and trace element testing.
