Description

The Vacutainer Tube in Purple and Red is a vital component used in blood collection procedures. - The Purple Vacutainer Tube, also known as the EDTA tube, contains ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as an anticoagulant. It is primarily used for hematological tests, such as complete blood count (CBC) and blood cell morphology examination. - The Red Vacutainer Tube, commonly referred to as the serum tube, does not contain any anticoagulant. Instead, it allows blood to clot naturally, and the serum separates from the clot upon centrifugation. These tubes are used for various biochemical tests, including liver function tests, lipid profiles, and glucose measurements. -Both tubes feature a vacuum-sealed closure system, ensuring consistent blood collection volumes and minimizing the risk of contamination. They are essential tools in medical laboratories and healthcare settings for accurate diagnostic testing and patient care.
