Venous blood collection tube \u2014 EDTA anticoagulant

Description

S-Monovette® EDTA K3E 2.7 ml tube is a sterile, single-use venous blood collection tube containing K3-EDTA anticoagulant, designed for haematology, full-blood and plasma analysis. The tube has a membrane screw cap (red / colour-coded EU) and a polypropylene body. It is supplied in batches of 50 per pack and sterilised by electron irradiation, complying with IVD and transport standards (IATA/ADR). :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Bnefits

Pre-dosed K3-EDTA anticoagulant (1.6 mg/ml blood) ensures reliable anticoagulation for haematology and plasma-based assays. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Membrane screw cap closure ensures a liquid-tight seal and maintains sterility and sample integrity. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Sterile, single-use and CE-marked IVD product with standardised volume and geometry (66 mm x 11 mm) for compatibility with laboratory automation. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Batch packaging (50 tubes) allows laboratories to manage inventory and traceability efficiently. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Indications

Collection of venous whole blood for haematology (e.g. full blood count), plasma preparation, and other EDTA-based analyses requiring anticoagulated blood.

Composition

Tube body: Polypropylene (PP) – transparent
Cap / closure: High-density polyethylene (HD-PE) membrane screw cap (colour-coded red per EU standard).
Anticoagulant additive: Tripotassium EDTA (K3-EDTA), concentration 1.6 mg EDTA per ml of blood. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Formulation

Sterile, single-use collection tube with pre-dosed liquid anticoagulant and fill-mark for correct blood draw volume; membrane screw-cap closure; fill volume 2.7 ml; dimensions 66 mm length (without cap) × 11 mm internal diameter. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Packaging

Box containing 50 sterile tubes (manufacturer pack size). :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Usage

Collect venous blood into the tube up to the indicated fill-mark to maintain correct blood:anticoagulant ratio. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
Immediately after collection, gently invert the tube to mix blood with EDTA anticoagulant to prevent clotting, as per manufacturer’s instructions for use. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
Process samples according to laboratory protocol (e.g. for haematology or plasma-based assays). Do not reuse tube — single-use only, dispose per biohazard / local regulation after use.

Contraindications

Do not use if the sterile packaging is damaged or expired.
Not suitable for tests requiring serum or coagulation (use appropriate tube type instead).

Adverse Effects

Risks are associated with venepuncture procedure (e.g. bleeding, haemolysis, infection) rather than the tube; incorrect blood:anticoagulant ratio or improper mixing may lead to unreliable test results.

Storage Conditions

Store in original packaging in a cool, dry place protected from direct sunlight, as per manufacturer recommendations for IVD products. (user IFU must be consulted for exact storage temperature and shelf-life)

Duration

Not applicable (single-use diagnostic device)

Onset

Anticoagulation effect is immediate upon mixing blood with EDTA inside the tube; sample remains liquid until processed. (As per product specification) :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
