An article on the application and types of heparin

Recently, many customers have called for heparin, but none of them are professionals to inquire. Many of them are traders, and they do not know what kind of heparin is needed and where it is used. In fact, there are many types of heparin, although they are all used for anticoagulation, but different types of heparin are completely different.

Application differences between different types of heparin

Heparin is a natural anticoagulant substance extracted from the internal organs of animals, and the heparin products prepared after extraction can be used in many fields. In terms of application, there are injection-grade heparin drugs directly used in hospitals, as well as anticoagulation in blood collection tubes, or raw materials for cosmetics.

Heparin products are extracted from animal organs, such as liver, lung, kidney, etc., and then processed into products through impurity removal, purification, refining, etc., usually heparin sodium, and later extended heparin lithium, heparin calcium, etc. other types. Among them, the high-quality heparin produced by Desheng is used in blood collection tubes. Although they are both used as anticoagulants, they are also distinguished.

Sodium heparin anticoagulant

There are many products such as heparin, but heparin sodium is the most widely used, which is suitable for anticoagulation of blood samples in biochemical examinations, especially when measuring the ion content in blood, heparin is used as an anticoagulant, and it is used as an anticoagulant for other blood samples. The determination of the ions is not affected, making the detection results more accurate.

Lithium heparin anticoagulant

In addition to heparin sodium, lithium heparin can also be added to the anticoagulant substance of blood collection tubes. The production of lithium heparin is mainly obtained by ion exchange of heparin sodium, and the cost is slightly higher than that of heparin sodium. Its appearance is a white powder, odorless, soluble in water, and hygroscopic. Except for hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, and thiobarbituric acid, the correlation between lithium heparin anticoagulated plasma and serum Therefore, in clinical testing, heparin lithium anticoagulated plasma is gradually replaced by serum, which has become an important method for testing experiments.

 Sodium heparin and lithium heparin are the two main anticoagulants produced by Desheng Biochemical. They are both used in vacuum blood collection tubes. They have been produced and sold for 17 years. Experts have stood up and have rich experience. In addition, the company has specially set up a quality department to strictly test and control product quality, batch production, and protect the rights and interests of customers.
