100Ppcs/box 5ml Heparin Tube Serum Blood Collection Tube Green Cap Grass/PET Material
1.Product description
The Heparin Tube is a medical device used for blood collection and preservation, coated with heparin on its inner walls to provide anticoagulant protection for cells and proteins in blood samples. These tubes are commonly employed in blood analysis, coagulation function tests, and other hematology examinations to ensure the stability of collected blood samples during analysis.
2.Key features
3.Application
Heparin Tubes are widely used in hospitals, laboratories, and clinical diagnostics for blood sample collection for various hematology examinations and laboratory analyses.
4.Storage and Handling
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Check for tube integrity before use to ensure the accuracy of
sample collection.
5.Safety Precautions:
Follow standard blood collection and handling procedures to ensure
the safety of healthcare personnel and patients.
Dispose of used tubes according to medical waste disposal
regulations.
6.What is a heparin tube used for?
A heparin blood tube is used for the collection of plasma or whole
blood for special tests involving clinical chemistry, immunology,
and microbiological serology. Heparin is an anticoagulant, a blood
thinner which prevents the formation of blood clots.
7.What is the difference between heparin and EDTA tubes?
Heparin plasma (which inhibits thrombin activity) and EDTA plasma
(which binds calcium ions) are both broadly used in clinical and
epidemiological research. However, heparin binds to DNA during
purification and inhibits Taq polymerase used for polymerase chain
reaction (PCR).
8.What color tube is used for heparin?
green tubes
The green tubes contain heparin (can either be in the form of
sodium heparin, lithium heparin, or ammonium heparin), which acts
as an anticoagulant by inhibiting thrombin formation. Unlike red
tubes, the type of blood produced in a green tube needed for
testing is not serum but plasma.What is heparin blood test used
for?
The test is used to monitor heparin therapy to ensure that a person
is receiving sufficient heparin for anticoagulation without causing
excess bleeding. Since the test involves a chemical reaction color
change (colorimetric), it is also known as chromogenic anti-Xa
assay or anti-Xa assay, chromogenic.
