What is EDTA blood used for?

EDTA prevents clotting of blood by chelating calcium. If a certain blood test requires the blood to be unclotted, this is often used. It is the anticoagulant (chemical that prevents blood from clotting) of choice for most hematology tests. In blood cell counts (including Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, and platelets) - EDTA is the preferred anticoagulant. If flow cytometry is needed on blood, it must be unclotted (collected in a tube that has no anticoagulatn)- CD4 counts are tested in this way. If a test needs to identify something in specific cells, e.g. HIV DNA in lymphocytes, then the cells can't be part of a clot, so unclotted blood is used. If plasma is required for a test, EDTA blood may be used (althought EDTA may not be appropriate for some plasma-based tests). Plasma is the liquid part of the blood without cells that has not clotted. Serum is the liquid part of the blood once the clot has formed. Some tests can use both, while other tests need one or the other.
