EDTA works as an anticoagulant by binding to calcium ions in the blood, which are necessary for the normal clotting process. By chelating calcium, EDTA prevents blood from clotting by interrupting the cascade of reactions that lead to clot formation. This makes it useful for preserving blood samples for laboratory analysis.
