0.5 mL K₂EDTA Polystyrene Blood Collection Tubes (9×30 mm) – K1230

Small-Volume EDTA Tubes for Reliable Sample Collection

The K1230 is a 0.5 mL blood collection tube made from clear polystyrene, treated with dry K₂EDTA anticoagulant (~0.88 mg per tube, equivalent to ~1.75 mg per mL of blood). It features external dimensions of 9×30 mm, and comes with a pink, skirted screw cap. Ideal for minimal-draw sampling, paediatric use, or any application where conserving blood volume while maintaining diagnostic integrity matters.

Key Features

• Volume: 0.5 mL — perfect for small blood draws or micro-sampling.

• Anticoagulant: K₂EDTA (dry form, ~0.88 mg per tube) — helps preserve cellular components and prevents clotting.

• Material: Polystyrene — clear for easy visual inspection of sample color, clarity, and possible clot formation.

• External Size: 9×30 mm — compact footprint fits many racks, centrifuge holders, or diagnostic analyzers.

• Cap & Colour: Pink skirted screw cap — standard EDTA colour coding to simplify lab workflow.

• Temperature Range: −4 °C to +60 °C — safe for standard lab storage, ambient handling, and routine transport.

• Centrifugation Rating (RCF): Up to ~1,500 × g — adequate for most EDTA separation protocols.

• Packaging: Supplied in packs (e.g. 100 / 500 / 1,000 tubes) — supports both small labs and high-volume use.

Why Choose K1230 Tubes

• Minimises required blood volume without compromising quality of test results.

• K₂EDTA anticoagulant yields consistent, reliable data in hematology / diagnostic workflows.

• Compact size reduces storage footprint; clear walls make sample checks easier.

• Colour coded cap reduces the chance of mix-ups in busy lab settings.
