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 options. The anticoagulant heparin activates antithrombin, effectively blocking the clotting cascade and producing a whole blood or plasma sample. Lithium heparin is particularly advantageous, as it does not interfere with ion detection during testing, including sodium ions. After drawing blood, the tube should be gently inverted 8-10 times to activate the anticoagulant. Recommended centrifugation is at <1300 g (RCF) for 10 minutes at 18-25° C.
