EDTA Capillary Tube Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

EDTA Capillary Tube (Product Code: SLE/CL/43) is a 75 mm capillary tube with an internal EDTA coating, designed for the collection, transportation and processing of capillary blood from a finger or heel prick. The EDTA stops the small sample from clotting, so it can be carried to the bench and centrifuged or dispensed for testing. Tubes are packed in vials of 100 and are used by haematology benches, point-of-care testing sites and training laboratories. They are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a lab consumables supplier in India for clinical sampling items.

Specifications

Typical Use

After the skin is punctured with a lancet and the first drop wiped away, the tip of the tube is touched to the next drop and blood rises by capillary action. Hold the tube level or angled slightly downward and stop before the end to avoid air gaps. For packed cell volume work, one end is closed with sealant, the tube is placed in a haematocrit centrifuge, and the ratio of packed cells to total column is read afterwards; tubes can also be used to move a measured drop onto slides or test devices.

Roll the filled tube gently between the fingers to spread the EDTA through the blood, and process the sample promptly. Nursing and medical laboratory technology programmes buying lab equipment for college teaching in India often use EDTA capillary tubes to show students how small-volume sampling differs from venous collection. Keep vials closed when not in use so the tubes stay clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many tubes are in a vial?
Each vial holds 100 tubes, as listed. For carton sizes, please contact us.

What are the tube dimensions?
The tubes are 75 mm long with a diameter of 1.15 mm. The original listing writes these values with a decimal comma (1,15 mm).

How much EDTA is in the coating?
The listing states EDTA coated 1.65 mg/ml (written 1,65 mg/ml). Ask us if your method requires a specific EDTA salt.

Are the tubes glass or plastic?
The material is not stated in our listing. Please confirm with us before ordering if your protocol depends on it.

When should I choose EDTA rather than heparin capillary tubes?
EDTA is usual for haematology tests on capillary blood, while heparin is often used where the method specifies it. Follow the requirements of your test method.

Do you supply capillary tubes for screening programmes?
Yes. Send the number of vials and delivery location, and we will quote for supply in India or international markets.
