6,2A is denoted by mauve or purple caps on !acutainer brand test tubes. 2his chemical strongly and irreversibly binds calcium. 8t is in a po'dered form. Citrate is usually in blue !acutainer tube. 8t is in liquid form in the tube and is used for coagulation tests, as 'ell as in blood transfusion bags. 8t gets rid of the
calcium, but not as strongly as 6,2A. Correct proportion of this anticoagulant to blood is crucial because of the dilution. 8t can be in the form of sodium citrate?disambiguation needed@ or AC,. .7alate has a mechanism similar to that of citrate. 8t is the anticoagulant used in fluoride grey top# tubes.
