Heparin Tube (Green Cap)

Product Description

• Lithium Heparin/Sodium Heparin
• plasma tubes for clinical chemistry are available with spray-dried sodium heparin or lithium heparin additives. Heparin acts as an anticoagulant as it develops an antithrombin complex.
  
• The optimum anti coagulation is achieved in all tubes by the use of 17 IU pharmaceutical grade heparin per mL of blood when the fill level is correct. 
  
• The lithium heparin in tubes is spray dried onto the inner walls of the tubes using a special procedure so that the additive is evenly distributed to achieve the best possible solubility. For clinical chemistry, lithium heparin is generally preferred over sodium heparin.
  
• Centrifugation Conditions : 1300g for 10 minutes at 18-25° C
  
• Mixing Recommendation : Fluoride tubes should be gently inverted 180° and back 8-10 times.
