EDTA is ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; the chemical formula is C10H16N2O8.EDTA can react with calcium and magnesium ions forming insoluble precipitates.

Replacement Titration: In this method the metal, which is to be analyzed, displaces quantitatively the metal from the complex. When direct or back titrations do not give sharp end points, the metal may be determined by the displacement of an equivalent amount of Mg or Zn from a less stable EDTA complex. Mn+2 + Mg EDTA---> 2 Mg+2 + Mn EDTA-2 Mn displaces Mg from Mn EDTA solution. The freed Mg metal is then directly titrated with a standard EDTA solution. In this method, excess quantity of Mg EDTA chelate is added to Mn solution. Mn quantitatively displaces Mg from Mg EDTA chelate. This displacement takes place because Mn forms a more stable complex with EDTA. By this method Ca, Pb, Hg may be determined using Eriochrome blackT indicator.
the basicity of EDTA is 4
EDTA whole blood is whole blood that has been drawn into a tube with EDTA in it. The EDTA is added to transport samples and prevents the blood from clotting.
calcium bind with the EDTA to prevent the blood from clotting
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a chelating agent and can bind calcium. Exploitation of this property will enable removal of calcium from the body. Of course safety is paramount, and EDTA should not cause adverse health effects.
it is organic
In this case sodium chloride does not have any buffering role.
Water , HIgh fructose corn syrup, citric acid, natural and artificial flavers, sodium chloride, potassium citrate magnesium chloride, calibum chloride, potassium phosphate calcium,, disodium edta, red 40 blue 1, pyridoxine hydrochloride and cyanocobalamin.

It prevents coagulation by binding calcium ions.
complexation or chelation reaction
Ca-EDTA is more stable.. its stability constant is above 10 wheras Mg's is below 9, as to why this is I dont know
A useful indicator for calcium titrations with EDTA in the presence of magnesium.
Sodium cirate, EDTA, Oxalate
It hinders it. EDTA, a commonly used anticoagulant, works by chelating calcium. This also has the consequence that large volumes of blood transfusions causes calcium deficiency.
