BD Vacutainer Heparin Tube 10 ml Green 100 pcs/box

Lithium Heparin
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.
