EDTA Capillary Tube
Product Code : LSK-CL-11250
EDTA Capillary Tube (SKU LSK-CL-11250) is a 75 mm capillary tube of 1.15 mm diameter, coated with EDTA at 1.65 mg/ml, supplied in vials of 100 tubes. It is designed for the collection, transportation and processing of capillary blood, and suits finger-prick sampling and haematology practicals in DMLT, B.Sc. MLT and nursing programmes. Science Lab Supplies, from its Ambala base in India, quotes vials for laboratories, training colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Dimensions, coating and packing of the EDTA capillaries are given row by row. In short, each tube is 75 mm long with a 1.15 mm diameter and an EDTA coating of 1.65 mg/ml, and the tubes come 100 to a vial for collecting, carrying and processing small capillary blood samples.

Applications and Experiments for the EDTA Capillary Tube
After a skin puncture, the tip of the tube is touched to the drop of blood and the sample rises into the narrow bore by capillary action. The EDTA coating keeps that small volume from clotting, so it can be carried to the bench and processed as unclotted capillary blood.
- DMLT and B.Sc. MLT haematology: capillary sampling practice and processing of small EDTA blood volumes.
- Phlebotomy and nursing training: the finger-prick routine from puncture to covering the site with an Adhesive Bandage.
- Safe disposal practice: placing used lancets in a Sharp Container Leak Proof Plastic straight after sampling.
The tubes are narrow, so handle them gently, keep the vial closed between uses and wear gloves when working with blood.
Standard Scope of Supply
Supply is by the vial, each holding 100 EDTA-coated capillary tubes of 75 mm length and 1.15 mm diameter. Lancets, sealant trays and haematocrit centrifuges are separate products, and any of them can be added to the same quotation as the capillary vials.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Since the tubes come in vials of 100, quote requests are simplest in vials, from a single vial for a demonstration to a larger number for regular training. Science Lab Supplies quotes the packing, delivery time and price for the vial count, and lancets or sealant can share the quote.
Science Lab Supplies is set up with an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia and Rwanda. Vial quantities can be sent via the contact page or added to the enquiry cart, and tender purchases are explained on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions of the EDTA Capillary Tube?
Each tube is 75 mm long with a diameter of 1.15 mm, and it carries an EDTA coating of 1.65 mg/ml. The tubes are packed in vials of 100 for convenient bench use.
How does it differ from the Capillary Heparin Tube?
Both are 75 mm capillaries with a 1.15 mm diameter. This tube is coated with EDTA and packed in vials of 100, whereas the Capillary Heparin Tube is heparin coated and packed in glass boxes of 100.
What is the EDTA coating for?
EDTA is an anticoagulant. Coating the inside of the tube with 1.65 mg/ml EDTA stops the small capillary sample from clotting during collection and transport, so it can be processed at the laboratory bench.
Who supplies the EDTA Capillary Tube?
Vials of these capillaries are supplied by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India. It quotes them for laboratories, nursing and paramedical institutes and distributors, and can add lancets, sealant and centrifuges to the same order.
