Heparin Tube

The Golden Vac™ heparin tube is specifically designed for collecting heparinized plasma or whole blood, ideal for emergency biochemical and hemorheological tests. It is available in both lithium heparin and sodium heparin forms. The anticoagulant heparin activates antithrombin, effectively blocking the clotting cascade and producing a whole blood or plasma sample. Lithium heparin is advantageous because it does not interfere with sodium ion detection during testing. After drawing the blood, the tube should be gently inverted 8-10 times to activate the anticoagulant. The recommended centrifugation is less than 1300 g (RCF) for 10 minutes at 18-25°C.
