Application of EDTA anticoagulants in clinical testing

EDTA anticoagulants play an indispensable role in clinical testing, and their excellent anticoagulant performance ensures the stability of blood samples during collection, transportation, and testing, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of test results. This article will delve into the application of EDTA as an anticoagulant for blood collection in clinical testing and its related precautions, providing strong support for medical testing.

1, The working principle and advantages of EDTA anticoagulants

EDTA effectively prevents blood coagulation by forming stable chelates with calcium ions in the aqueous phase. Its salts include potassium, sodium, lithium, etc., all of which are soluble in water. Potassium salts are commonly used for whole blood cell counting due to their high solubility. EDTA anticoagulants are not only efficient, but also do not interfere with other components in blood samples, ensuring the accuracy of detection results.

2, Application of EDTA anticoagulant blood collection in blood routine testing

Blood routine testing is the fundamental means of evaluating the health status of patients. EDTA anticoagulant blood collection can effectively prevent coagulation of blood samples during collection and transportation, maintain sample stability, and provide strong guarantees for the accuracy of blood routine testing. Blood routine testing mainly includes the analysis of indicators such as white blood cells, hemoglobin, platelets, etc. White blood cells can be divided into various types such as eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, etc. Through blood routine testing, doctors can understand the patient's blood condition and provide important basis for diagnosing diseases.

3, Application of EDTA anticoagulant blood collection in blood type detection

Blood type testing is an important method for determining individual blood types, which is of great significance for medical operations such as blood transfusion and organ transplantation. EDTA anticoagulant blood collection can maintain the stability and anticoagulant effect of blood samples, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of blood type detection. Through blood type testing, doctors can understand the patient's blood type information, providing safety assurance for clinical treatment.

4, Application of EDTA anticoagulant blood collection in ABO hemolysis detection

ABO hemolysis is a common immune response caused by blood type incompatibility, which may lead to serious clinical consequences. EDTA anticoagulant blood collection plays an important role in ABO hemolysis detection. By detecting antibody titers and other related indicators in blood samples, patients can be assessed for the risk of ABO hemolysis, providing important evidence for prevention and treatment.

5, Precautions for using EDTA anticoagulant blood collection tubes

When using EDTA anticoagulant blood collection tubes, the following points need to be noted: first, ensure that the sealing of the blood collection tubes is good to avoid leakage and contamination of blood samples; Secondly, it is necessary to operate according to the recommended concentration by ICSH to avoid the impact of high or low anticoagulant concentration on the test results; In addition, rapid preparation of smears should be carried out to reduce changes in granulocyte morphology; Finally, for certain special patients or special testing items, it may be necessary to choose other types of anticoagulants based on specific circumstances.
