Heparin Tube

The Golden Vac™ heparin tube is designed for drawing heparinized plasma or whole blood, ideal for emergency biochemical and hemorheological testing. It is available in both lithium heparin and sodium heparin. The anticoagulant heparin activates antithrombin, which blocks the clotting cascade and produces a whole blood/plasma sample. Lithium heparin is particularly beneficial as it does not interfere with ion detection during testing, including sodium ions. After drawing blood, gently invert the tube 8-10 times to ensure adequate anticoagulant activation. Recommended centrifugation is <1300 g (RCF) for 10 minutes at 18-25° C.
