Heparin Tube

The Golden Vac™ heparin tube is specifically designed for collecting heparinized plasma or whole blood, suitable for emergency biochemical and hemorheological testing. It is available in both lithium heparin and sodium heparin formulations. The anticoagulant heparin works by activating antithrombin, which blocks the clotting cascade and results in a whole blood or plasma sample. Lithium heparin does not interfere with ion detection during testing, including sodium ion. After drawing the blood, gently invert the tube 8-10 times to ensure proper mixing of the anticoagulant. For optimal results, centrifugation should be performed at <1300 g (RCF) for 10 minutes at 18-25°C.
