Golden Vac™ Heparin Tubes with Polymer Separation Gel – Ideal for Plasma and Whole Blood Testing

Enhanced Blood Sample Collection with Lithium or Sodium Heparin and Reliable Plasma Separation

These Golden VacTM heparin tubes contain a polymer separation gel and spray-dried heparin additive.

Available in lithium heparin and sodium heparin.

The anticoagulant heparin activates antithrombin, which blocks the clotting cascade and thus produces a whole blood/plasma sample.

Lithium heparin has no interference with all ion detection during testing, including sodium ion.

The separation gel separates the plasma from the blood cells during centrifugation, preventing contamination of the plasma.

Immediately after draw, gently invert the tube 8-10 times in order to activate adequate anticoagulant.

Centrifugation: 1800-2200g for 8-15 minutes at 18-25° C.
