Buy EDTA blood collection tubes (2–5 mL) in Nigeria
Inquire for EDTA blood collection tubes (2–5 mL) in Nigeria. Lavender-top sample collection life science products—request a quote with volume and city.
EDTA blood collection tubes (2–5 mL) are lavender- or purple-top vacuum tubes containing K2 or K3 EDTA anticoagulant for whole-blood haematology work. Nigerian hospital labs, private diagnostic centres, and teaching facilities use them for full blood count, blood film, HbA1c where method-approved, and related assays that need intact cellular morphology. Wrong additive, underfill, or delayed mixing can cause clots or spurious counts, so procurement teams usually lock draw volume, EDTA salt form, and case pack before reordering. Order Life Science lists these under Sample Collection & Pre-analytics as life science products sourced by quote: add EDTA tubes to your quote list with quantities and delivery city, then submit. Specialists typically reply within 24 hours with options, logistics across the 36 states and FCT, and datasheets or CoA when requested. Brand preferences and analyser-compatible formats can be noted on the form.
What to specify in your quote
State draw volume (2 mL, 3 mL, or 5 mL), EDTA type (K2 spray-dried vs K3 liquid if your SOP distinguishes them), vacuum versus non-vacuum format, and tubes per pack or carton. Note preferred brand or acceptable equivalents, monthly or tender quantity, and the receiving lab address. Ask for lot documentation or CoA if your quality system requires them.
Use / procurement notes for Nigerian labs
Haematology sections in tertiary hospitals, private networks, and university labs reorder EDTA tubes as a high-turn consumable alongside SST and citrate lines. Confirm stopper colour and fill-line markings match your phlebotomy SOP, and that tube volume suits your analyser dead volume. Multi-site groups should standardise one EDTA specification so quotes and training stay consistent.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask first.
Straight answers for quote requests, specs, and delivery.
What are EDTA blood collection tubes used for?
They collect whole blood into EDTA anticoagulant so cells remain suitable for full blood count, differentials, blood films, and other haematology assays. Nigerian clinical labs rely on 2–5 mL formats for routine and paediatric-adjacent draws. Correct fill and prompt inversion keep samples free of microclots.
Should I request K2 or K3 EDTA tubes?
Follow your analyser IFU and lab SOP. Many modern haematology systems prefer K2 EDTA; some older protocols still list K3. State the salt form on the quote request. If unsure, note your analyser model so specialists can propose matching options.
How do I inquire for EDTA tubes (2–5 mL) in Nigeria?
Add the product to your quote list with draw volume, pack size, quantity, and delivery city, then submit. Specialists reply with pricing and delivery planning—usually within 24 hours. Pricing depends on brand, pack configuration, and logistics.
Can hospitals and diagnostic networks request institutional quotes?
Yes. Hospitals, private labs, universities, and research centres can submit quote requests and discuss purchase-order or tender quantities during quoting. Note multi-site delivery addresses if you need split shipments.
Do you publish a fixed NGN price for EDTA tubes?
No. Pricing varies by brand, volume, pack size, quantity, and delivery location. Request a quote for current figures rather than relying on a published list price.
Can I request datasheets or CoA with my EDTA tube quote?
Yes. Ask for datasheets, certificates of analysis, or related quality documents when they apply. Note the documents on the quote form so they are included in the specialist reply.
