Heparin Tube

The Golden Vac™ heparin tube is designed for the collection of heparinized plasma or whole blood, ideal for emergency biochemical and hemorheological tests. It is available in both lithium heparin and sodium heparin variants. Heparin, as an anticoagulant, activates antithrombin, blocking the clotting cascade to produce a whole blood or plasma sample. Lithium heparin ensures no interference with ion detection, including sodium ion, making it suitable for a wide range of tests. After drawing the blood, the tube must be gently inverted 8-10 times to activate the anticoagulant. The recommended centrifugation is below 1300 g (RCF) for 10 minutes at a temperature between 18-25°C.
