K2 EDTA tubes are blood collection tubes that utilize dipotassium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (K2 EDTA) as an anticoagulant to prevent blood clotting. These tubes are primarily used for hematological tests, including complete blood counts (CBC). The EDTA in the tube binds to calcium ions, interrupting the coagulation cascade and preserving the blood sample for analysis.
