Nidovac™ EDTA tubes are available in both di-potassium (K2) & tri-potassium (K3) salts. the concentration for EDTA is as per the CLSI standard ( 1.8 mg/ml)
Nidovac™ EDTA tubes anticoagulant is uniformly coated by Ultrasonic spray coating techniques. Uniform spray dry coating helps in proper dispersion of EDTA throughout the tube hence ensure good anti-coagulant and blood cohesion upon mixing for specimen.,/p>
EDTA tube wall also undergoes BIONIC TREATMENT resulting in glass like smoothness on inner wall surface. All steps help for better cell stability, lesser micro-clot formation and reduced platelet aggregation (Platelet clumping).
Nidovac™ EDTA tubes guarantee more accurate cell count readings both on differential Cell-counters or Microscopic slides.
Mode of action:
EDTA as an anticoagulant as a chelating agent binds with the Calcium molecule making it unavailable for Coagulation process in sample for blood, hence stopping the Coagulation cascade. This gives a long lasting irreversible anti-coagulation effect to the blood sample.
Mixing: 6-8 times gentle inversion cycle
Common test:
- Whole blood cell count test : CBC , Platelets , Haemoglobin , CD4 count etc
- Diabetic HbA1c test

Note:
For the making of Microscopic slide always use FRESH well-mixed EDTA (with a maximum delay of up to 3 or 4 h) after sample collection. In event requiring EDTA tubes to be stored overnight please keep the sample at 4°c.
