Heparin sodium raw material in anticoagulant tubes

 

In vitro anticoagulant reagents, EDTA tubes and heparin tubes are commonly used. EDTA dipotassium is commonly used in EDTA tubes, while heparin sodium and heparin lithium tubes are commonly used in heparin tubes. Today, we will briefly introduce the heparin sodium in anticoagulant tubes, where it comes from, how to distinguish it, and what role it plays in anticoagulant tubes?

 

There are three main categories of heparin sodium: crude grade, topical grade, and medicinal grade. Some people often confuse external grade and medicinal grade heparin sodium. It's actually easy to distinguish, as long as you ask the manufacturer when purchasing whether this is for in vitro or in vivo use. As a commonly used anticoagulant in extracorporeal anticoagulant tubes, heparin sodium, a topical grade, is used to prevent blood clotting, often appearing as a component of blood vessel additives. Sprayed onto the inner wall of the test tube, after treatment and drying, it contributes to the anticoagulation of blood collected from blood vessels. Medicinal grade heparin sodium is mostly used for in vivo injection and for antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ointments on the skin.

 

The appearance of external grade heparin sodium is a pure white crystalline powder, mainly extracted from pig intestines, processed with raw materials, heated for enzymatic hydrolysis, cooled for adsorption, elution and precipitation, and prepared after dehydration and drying. This type of heparin sodium raw material, when combined with blood, can quickly interfere with the activity of thrombin and other coagulation factors, making it lower and to some extent preventing the formation of fibrin. Platelets are the main component in the body's blood system, and the performance of heparin sodium can hinder the aggregation and adhesion of platelets, prevent coagulation formation, and achieve anticoagulant effects.

 

Hubei Xindesheng is one of the main manufacturers of external grade heparin sodium, with a rich range of blood collection additive products, including anticoagulants and coagulants. The produced heparin sodium, heparin lithium, and EDTA potassium disodium are widely recognized by customers on the market.
