DiagnoVac Heparin Tubes

DiagnoVac Heparin Tubes

DiagnoVac Heparin 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 anticoagulation is achieved in all Heparin Tubes by the use of 17 IU pharmaceutical grade heparin per ml of blood when the fill level is correct.
The Sodium/lithium in Heparin 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

Mixing recommendation:
