Serum electrolytes only measured in serum or plasma.

To test serum electrolytes you need a Serum Clot Activator tube

Not use for electrolytes.

Used only clot activator tube and Lithium Heparine Tube.

No, k3 EDTA is used in collecting blood sample of whole blood like for complete blood count, ESR. You should use Serum clot activator tube in collecting blood sample for serum electrolytes.
