5 mL K₂EDTA Polypropylene Blood Collection Tubes (15×54 mm) – K600PP

Mid-Volume EDTA Tubes in Rugged Polypropylene Construction

The K600PP is a 5 mL blood collection tube made from robust polypropylene and treated with K₂EDTA anticoagulant. With external dimensions of 15×54 mm, it features a pink screw cap and is designed to deliver dependable performance where a moderate blood volume is needed, along with enhanced durability and chemical resistance.

Key Features

• Volume: 5 mL — enough capacity for several assays or diagnostics without requiring multiple small-volume tubes.

• Anticoagulant: K₂EDTA (dried) — prevents clotting and preserves cell morphology during processing.

• Material: Polypropylene — offers superior durability, especially under more extreme temperature ranges, chemical exposure, or rough handling.

• Dimensions: 15×54 mm external — fits a wide range of tube racks, centrifuge buckets, and lab equipment.

• Cap & Colour: Pink screw cap — standard EDTA colour coding for quick sample identification.

• Temperature Range: −40 °C up to +135 °C — suitable for freezing, thawing, or elevated temperature protocols.

• Centrifuge Rating (RCF): Higher tolerance compared with polystyrene tubes — supports more demanding separation steps.

• Packaging: Supplied in bulk quantities (typically 100 / 500 / 1,000 tubes) — supports high usage needs and ensures cost efficiency.

Why Choose K600PP Tubes

• Ideal balance between volume and sample manageability — enough blood for multiple tests without over-drawing.

• Polypropylene build ensures better resilience — reduces risk of cracking, warping, or failure in tough lab conditions.

• Colour-coded EDTA tube simplifies selection in the lab and helps avoid mix-ups.

• Works well when sample storage or processing might involve freezing or temperature stresses.

Typical Applications

• Haematology panels and routine full blood count assays

• Labs where moderate volume is needed (rather than micro- or large-volume extremes)

• Research and clinical settings with mixed demands (some tests require more sample)

• Situations involving temperature challenges or harsh transport conditions
