Heparin Tube

The Golden Vac™ heparin tube is designed for drawing heparinized plasma or whole blood, making it essential for emergency biochemical and hemorheological testing. It is available in both sodium heparin and lithium heparin forms. The anticoagulant heparin activates antithrombin, effectively blocking the clotting cascade, which results in a whole blood/plasma sample. Notably, 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. Centrifugation should be performed at <1300 g (RCF) for 10 minutes at a temperature of 18-25°C.
