1.0 mL K₂EDTA Polystyrene Blood Collection Tubes (9×30 mm) – K2230

Compact & Reliable EDTA Tubes for Standard Blood Panels

The K2230 is a 1.0 mL blood collection tube made of clear polystyrene, pre-loaded with K₂EDTA anticoagulant (~1.75 mg per tube; ~1.75 mg K₂EDTA per mL of blood). It features a pink skirted screw cap for easy identification and has external dimensions of 9×30 mm. Designed for laboratories needing dependable medium-volume blood samples in diagnostic workflows.


Key Features

  • Volume: 1.0 mL — well suited for routine diagnostic panels, cellular counts, or pathology assays.

  • Anticoagulant: K₂EDTA (dry) — prevents clotting and preserves cellular components for accurate test results.

  • Material: Polystyrene — provides optical clarity for visual inspection of sample colour, clarity or pre-analytical issues.

  • Dimensions: 9×30 mm external — fits compact racks and standard blood tube holders.

  • Cap Type & Colour: Pink skirted screw cap — standard EDTA colour coding to avoid sample misidentification.

  • Temperature Range: −4 °C to +60 °C — safe for typical lab storage and transport conditions.

  • Max Centrifugal Force (RCF): Up to ~1,500 × g — appropriate for many standard centrifugation steps.

  • Packaging: Available in bulk quantities (e.g. 100 / 500 / 1,000 tubes) for cost-efficiency and consistent supply.
