Heparin Tube

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