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}
