EDTA salts (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) are used to anticoagulated whole blood for haematological investigations as the cellular components of the blood are particularly well preserved by EDTA. It works as an anticoagulant as it forms complexes with metal ions such as calcium, therefore inhibiting the coagulation cascade. Anticoagulation with EDTA is irreversible. The EDTA concentration in LEVRAM tubes is 1.8 mg per mL of complete blood when the fill level is correct, as recommended by the ICSH (International Council Society of Haematology)
