      That depends on the manufacturer. Anticoagulants can be in their liquid or powder form. Not sure about this tube in particular as it was already filled with blood when I received it in the lab.

    Why does this happen? I'm a cancer patient they did three draws and still couldn't get a good batch. No one could answer this question. In the. Dr. office.

      I am so sorry to hear about your struggle! Most of the time, the clot in a tube filled with anticoagulant is due to a lack of inversion immediately after venipuncture. Inverting the tubes mixes the anticoagulant throughout the specimen/blood and allows it do its job. In this case, EDTA binds to calcium to stop the clotting process.
