>> Features
Available in lithium heparin and sodium heparin.
The anticoagulant heparin activates antithrombin, which blocks the clotting cascade and thus produces a whole blood/plasma sample.
Lithium heparin has no interference with all ion detection during testing, including sodium ion.
Immediately after draw, gently invert the tube 8-10 times in order to activate adequate anticoagulant.
Centrifugation: ≤ 1300 g (RCF) for 10 minutes at 18-25°C.
>> Purpose
Plasma Chemistry Tests: Heparin prevents clotting by inhibiting thrombin
Emergency & Point-of-Care Testing (POCT): STAT chemistry panels (fast results for critical care), or Glucose testing (if processed immediately, unlike gray-top NaF tubes).
Hematology: Toxicology/drug level monitoring
Flow cytometry (cell surface marker analysis).
