Potassium edta
Potassium EDTA is a chemical compound used in laboratory equipment. It is a salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) with potassium as the counterion. Potassium EDTA is commonly used as an anticoagulant in blood collection and analysis procedures.
7 protocols using potassium edta
Rodent Blood Collection and Processing
Intraperitoneal ABP Dosing in Mice
Hematology and Transaminase Analysis in Mice
Comprehensive Blood Analysis Protocol
Blood serum was analyzed for glucose, total cholesterol, high- (HDL), low- (LDL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides using commercial kits (Laborlab®; Guarulhos, SP, Brazil) by an enzymatic-colorimetric method.
Measurement of Glucose and Lipid Levels
Blood Collection for Nucleic Acid Isolation
An additional 4 mL of blood were collected into lavender-topped tubes (potassium EDTA, Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ) and transferred to separate cryotubes for DNA isolation.
All blood specimens were stored at −80 °C prior to nucleic acid isolation.
Evaluating Platelet Function in ACS Patients
For CYP2C19 genotyping, blood was collected into vacutainer tubes containing potassium EDTA as anticoagulant (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, New Jersey) and preserved at 2 C to 8 C until processing.
In order to reduce procedure-related platelet activation, the second tube was used to evaluate platelet aggregation. Impedance aggregometry was performed between 30 minutes and 2 hours after blood sampling, using whole blood samples collected into commercially available double-wall, hirudin blood tubes (Roche Diagnostics International Ltd, Rotkreuz, Switzerland).
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
