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.

A hemoglobin A1c test is typically drawn in a lavender-top tube, which contains EDTA as an anticoagulant. This tube is specifically designed for collecting whole blood for tests that require EDTA for anti-coagulation.
The reaction equation between Zn^2+ and EDTA is: Zn^2+ + EDTA → Zn(EDTA)^2-
Tertrasodium EDTA is a chelating and preservative agent.
