What is an EDTA tube?
It’s a tube coated with spray-dried K2EDTA on its inner wall. EDTA acts as an anticoagulant, binding the calcium ions and interrupting the clotting of the blood sample.

Serum is usually collected in mottled red/gray, gold, or cherry red-top tubes, and red-top tubes are occasionally used. Plasma is obtained from blood that has been mixed with an anticoagulant in the collection tube and has, therefore, not clotted.
