Desheng Biochemical is a manufacturer specializing in the production of heparin sodium. Recently, it has always received calls to ask about heparin sodium. When the other party hears the price, they will feel that "the price difference is too big"! In fact, it is normal to have such feelings, because the price of heparin sodium is closely related to the type and quality. Below, I will give you a detailed introduction to the reasons for the large price difference.

In the early days, heparin was extracted from animal organs and had anticoagulant effects. Later, it was found that many mammalian organs also contained heparin, so it was developed to be extracted from pig intestinal mucosa and organs such as cattle and sheep. Heparin is widely used and can be used in cosmetics, blood collection tube anticoagulants, etc. Heparin is produced in different technologies, uses and costs are different, and natural prices are also different.

Different types of heparin

Unfractionated heparin: It is a mixture consisting of D-glucosamine, L-iduronic acid and D-glucuronic acid alternately, usually extracted from pig intestinal mucosa or bovine lung, and used after making medicine. for the treatment of patients with renal insufficiency.

Low-molecular-weight heparin: It is a fragment of glucosamine sulfate after the splitting of common stem elements. Due to the differences in molecular size, anticoagulant activity and preparation method, low-molecular-weight heparin, such as enoxaparin and dalteparin, is used clinically.

Vacuum blood collection tube anticoagulant heparin sodium: mainly used as an additive in blood collection tubes. As an anticoagulant tube, it can prevent blood samples from coagulating within a certain period of time. This heparin is different from other types and has a relatively high potency.

Differences on the origins of heparin sodium

Many manufacturers' heparin is domestic heparin, and there is a difference between domestic and imported, especially for the pharmaceutical industry, the price difference will naturally be relatively large.

Not many sources of heparin

Although heparin can be extracted from the organs of mammals such as pigs, cattle, and sheep, these heparins are mainly crude products, and the key extraction site is in the small intestine of pigs. Statistics show that only 3,000 pigs can extract 1 kg of heparin. Once the price of pork fluctuates, it will actually affect the price of heparin sodium.
