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

• Heparin Anticoagulation: Coated with heparin to prevent blood clotting, ensuring the accuracy of blood samples.
• Color Coding: Stoppers inside the tube are often color-coded for easy identification of different additives.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for a variety of hematology tests such as complete blood cell counts, coagulation function checks, and more.
• High-Quality Materials: Made from medical-grade materials to ensure sample stability and accuracy.

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.
