Heparin is the only anticoagulant that should be used in a blood collection device for the determination of pH, blood gases, electrolytes and ion calcium.
EDTA tubes used EDTA(K2) and EDTA(K3) as anticoagulants. They are widely used to collect blood for clinical hematology examination and suitable for blood cells analysis and determinations of blood groups.
The interior of the TUD K2EDTA Gel tubes is coated with K2EDTA. EDTA binds calcium ions and blocks the coagulation cascade. These tubes, which upon centrifugation separate undiluted plasma, are used for testing plasma in molecular diagnostics and viral load detection.
This tube contains sodium fluoride and EDTA K2. Fluoride prevents enzyme inolase in the blood from working,in such glucose will not be gradually used up during storage. Oxalate is an anticoagulant.
