Blood cell count collection tube

for hematological analysisbloodwhole blood

Overview
EDTA tubes are designed for the collection, preservation, and processing of blood samples for hematology testing. The tubes contain EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) anticoagulant to prevent clotting, and are available in PET or glass with a safety cap. Each tube is sterilized and can be customized with OEM labeling.

Function and benefits

• Anticoagulant action: EDTA prevents blood clotting and preserves sample integrity.
• Material options: PET or glass variants for durability and sample stability.
• Safety cap: Reduces risk of contamination and ensures secure handling.
• Sterile supply: Tubes are supplied sterilized and ready for immediate use.
• OEM labeling: Custom label and printing options available (paper label or UV printing).

Technical specifications

• Centrifugation speed (recommended): 3500–4000 rpm.
• Centrifugation time (recommended): 5 minutes.
• Recommended storage temperature: 4–25℃.
• Shelf life: PET variants ≈ 1 year; glass variants ≈ 2 years (depending on type).
