\ud83e\uddea What is a Micro EDTA Vacutainer?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A micro EDTA vacutainer<\/strong> is a small-volume blood collection tube<\/strong> pre-filled with EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid)<\/strong>, an anticoagulant that prevents blood from clotting by binding calcium. It is specifically designed for collecting small blood samples, often from infants, neonates, or patients with difficult venous access<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A micro EDTA tube<\/strong> is a small\u2011volume specimen collection tube designed for capillary (skin\u2011puncture) blood collection<\/strong> in situations where only minimal blood volume is available (e.g. infants, neonates, small laboratory tests). It contains the anticoagulant EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid)<\/strong>, which chelates calcium ions and prevents clotting, thus preserving whole blood for hematologic analysis (e.g. CBC, differential, platelet counts).<\/p>\n

These tubes are typically constructed of plastic (e.g. polypropylene) and incorporate features such as color\u2011coded caps (lavender or purple for EDTA), visible fill lines, and closures that minimize leakage or splatter.
