Vacuum Blood Collection Tube (Purple Top)

Vacuum Blood Collection Tube (Purple Top) Highlights

• Anticoagulant Type: Purple top tubes typically contain EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), which acts as an anticoagulant by binding to calcium ions, preventing blood clotting.
• Common Use Cases: These tubes are primarily used for whole blood hematology tests, such as complete blood counts (CBC), blood typing, and cross-matching, where cellular integrity is crucial.
• Sample Preservation: EDTA helps preserve the cellular components of blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, for accurate analysis.
• Inversion Requirement: After blood collection, purple top tubes must be gently inverted several times to ensure proper mixing of the anticoagulant with the blood, preventing clot formation.
• Volume & Capacity: Available in various volumes, typically ranging from 2ml to 10ml, to accommodate different testing requirements and sample sizes.
