The Polymed Haemochek Sodium Heparin Blood Collection Tube is an innovative specimen collection device designed for various clinical applications.
Key Features
- Sodium Heparin Anticoagulant: The tube is specifically formulated with sodium heparin, a potent anticoagulant. Sodium heparin prevents blood clotting by enhancing the activity of antithrombin III, ensuring the preservation of the sample in a liquid state for downstream diagnostic analyses.
- Plasma Collection: Sodium heparin is chosen for applications where plasma is required for testing. The anticoagulant prevents the formation of fibrin clots, allowing the collection of plasma that is devoid of cellular elements, making it suitable for various clinical assays.
- Homogeneous Mixing: The tube's design promotes homogeneous mixing of sodium heparin with blood, ensuring uniform anticoagulation. This feature is crucial for maintaining the stability of the sample and preventing variations in test results.
- Versatile Clinical Applications: Tailored for a range of clinical applications, the Haemochek Sodium Heparin Blood Collection Tube is suitable for tests requiring plasma, such as coagulation studies, special chemistry assays, and certain diagnostic investigations.
Benefits
- Plasma Integrity: The sodium heparin formulation preserves the integrity of plasma by preventing clot formation. This is essential for obtaining accurate and reliable results in assays that require the use of plasma as a specimen.
- Coagulation Studies: The tube is ideal for coagulation studies where plasma is essential. Sodium heparin ensures the availability of a clot-free plasma sample, supporting precise assessments of various coagulation parameters.
- Special Chemistry Assays: In applications requiring plasma for special chemistry assays, the Haemochek Sodium Heparin Blood Collection Tube offers a reliable solution. The anticoagulant ensures that the plasma remains free from fibrin clots, allowing for accurate diagnostic testing.
- Convenient and Efficient: The tube's design and sodium heparin formulation provide a convenient and efficient solution for collecting plasma. The elimination of clotting factors ensures a smooth workflow in clinical laboratories.
