10 mL K₂EDTA Polystyrene Blood Collection Tubes (15×96 mm) – K9940
Large-Volume EDTA Tubes with High Accuracy and Standard Compliance
The K9940 tube is a 10 mL blood collection tube constructed of clear polystyrene, treated with dried K₂EDTA anticoagulant (17.5 mg per tube, corresponding to 1.75 mg K₂EDTA per mL of blood). With external dimensions of 15×96 mm and furnished with a pink screw cap, this tube offers robust capacity and standard EDTA preservation for larger sample requirements.
Key Features
-
Volume: 10 mL — sufficient for multiple tests or panels from a single draw.
-
Anticoagulant: K₂EDTA (dried) — securely loaded in the base of the tube to deliver reliable anticoagulation.
-
Material: Polystyrene — clear walls allow easy visual inspection for sample quality.
-
Dimensions: 15×96 mm external — larger format suitable for high-volume workflows, including automated or semi-automated instrumentation.
-
Cap: Pink screw cap — standard colour coding for EDTA tubes ensures quick identification.
-
Temperature Range: −4 °C to +60 °C — safe for standard storage, transport, and routine lab conditions.
-
Maximum Centrifugal Force (RCF): Up to 1,500 × g — supports typical blood separation protocols for EDTA tubes.
-
Quality & Compliance: Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015; CE-marked in accordance with EU directive for in vitro diagnostic devices.
-
Custom Options Available: Colour coding, anticoagulant content, or bespoke design modifications can be arranged to suit specific lab needs.
Why Choose K9940 Tubes
