It was chosen for the following reasons: 1) K3 EDTA results in greater RBC shrinkage; 2) K3 EDTA produces a larger increase in cell volume on standing; and 3) K3 EDTA is a liquid additive and will result in the dilution of the of directly measured values can be 1-2% lower than results withK2 EDTA.

4 K2 EDTA is sprayed onto the interior of the plastic tube and likeK3 EDTA requires 8-10 inversions for thorough mixing of blood with the NCCLS, Evacuated Tubes and Additives for Blood Specimen Collection Fifth Edition; Approved Standard.

5 For this reason it is very important that laboratories determinetheir normal range of APTT and PT based on one citrate concentration andconsistently use this concentration for all patient samples. BD offers only citrate concentration, as recommended by NCCLS, Collection, Transport and Processing of Blood Specimens for Coagulation Testing and GeneralPerformance of Coagulation Assays - Third Edition; Approved Guideline.
