BD Sodium Heparin 100Pack Blood Collection Vacutainer Tubes
Venous blood sampling
Plasma analysis
Lithium Heparin/Sodium Heparin
BD Vacutainer® plasma tubes for clinical chemistry are available with spray-dried sodium heparin or lithium heparin additives.
Heparin acts as an anticoagulant by creating a complex with antithrombin III.
This complex inhibits thrombin and the activated factor X and thus prevents coagulation.
Optimal anticoagulation is achieved in these tubes by using 17 IU pharmaceutical-grade heparin per mL of blood.
The lithium heparin in BD Vacutainer® tubes is spray dried onto the inner walls to achieve the best possible solubility.
For clinical chemistry, lithium heparin is generally preferred over sodium heparin.
Tube mixing
To avoid micro-clotting, mix the BD Vacutainer® Heparin Tube with 8-10 inversions immediately after the blood
