EDTA in the field of coagulation refers to ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), which is an important chelating agent and plays an important role in coagulation testing. The following is a detailed introduction:
Anticoagulation principle:
EDTA can form a stable complex with calcium ions in the blood, thereby removing calcium ions from the blood. Since calcium ions are an indispensable factor in the coagulation process and participate in multiple links in the coagulation cascade reaction, EDTA prevents blood coagulation by chelating calcium ions and plays an anticoagulant role.
Application in coagulation testing:
In clinical laboratories, EDTA is often used as an anticoagulant to collect blood samples for related examinations such as blood routine and coagulation function. Especially in blood routine tests, blood samples anticoagulated with EDTA can keep the morphology and number of blood cells relatively stable, which is conducive to accurate analysis such as blood cell counting and classification.
Precautions for use:
Although EDTA is a commonly used anticoagulant, it may affect some coagulation factors in some coagulation function tests, resulting in inaccurate test results. Therefore, for some special coagulation function tests, other anticoagulants, such as sodium citrate, may be needed. In addition, the concentration of EDTA used also needs to be strictly controlled to ensure that it can effectively anticoagulate without adversely affecting blood components and test results.
Beijing Succeeder Technology Inc. (Stock code: 688338), founded in 2003 and listed since 2020, is a leading manufacturer in coagulation diagnostics.

Analyzer Introduction
Fully Automated Coagulation analyzer SF-9200 (https://www.succeeder.com/fully-automated-coagulation-analyzer-sf-9200-product) can be used for clinical test and pre-operative screening. Hospitals and medical scientific researchers also can use SF-9200. Which adopts coagulation and immunoturbidimetry, chromogenic method to test the clotting of plasma. The instrument shows that clotting measurement value is the clotting time (in seconds). If the test item is calibrated by calibration plasma, it can also display other related results.
The product is made of sampling probe movable unit, cleaning unit, cuvettes movable unit, heating and cooling unit, test unit, operation-displayed unit, LIS interface (used for printer and transfer date to Computer).
Technical and experienced staffs and analyzers of high quality and strict quality management are the guarantee of manufacture of SF-9200 and good quality. We guarantee each instrument inspected and tested strictly. SF-9200 meets China national standard, industry standard, enterprise standard and IEC standard.
