K2/K3 EDTA + Gel tubes are specialized blood collection tubes used in clinical laboratories for hematological testing, particularly for complete blood count (CBC) analysis. These tubes contain ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as an anticoagulant and a gel separator. K2/K3 EDTA + Gel tubes are primarily used for hematological testing, including CBC analysis. The EDTA in these tubes prevents blood clotting by chelating calcium ions, thereby preserving the integrity of blood cell morphology and facilitating accurate cell counting and sizing. The gel separator at the bottom of the tube aids in plasma separation from the cellular components of blood (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets) after centrifugation. This clear separation allows for accurate analysis of blood cell parameters, including red blood cell count, white blood cell count, platelet count, haemoglobin concentration, and haematocrit level.
