Heparin Tube

The Golden Vac™ heparin tube is designed for collecting heparinized plasma or whole blood, particularly suited for emergency biochemical and hemorheological tests. It is available in both lithium heparin and sodium heparin forms. The anticoagulant heparin activates antithrombin, which inhibits the clotting cascade, producing a whole blood or plasma sample. Lithium heparin is preferable when ion detection is involved, as it does not interfere with sodium ion measurements. After drawing the blood, gently invert the tube 8-10 times to activate the anticoagulant. Centrifugation is recommended at less than 1300 g (RCF) for 10 minutes at 18-25°C.
