Is blood anticoagulant harmful to the body?

 

In recent years, the development of medical technology in China has been rapid, with significant changes in both fully automated equipment and blood collection methods. Just as vacuum blood collection is commonly used at this stage, it not only reduces the risk of infection but also ensures the accuracy of test results. The emergence of anticoagulant reagents for blood collection further ensures blood testing. They are usually added to test tubes and are generally not harmful to the human body, but there are still a few people who may worry that they are harmful products. Below, we will analyze this issue for everyone.

 

1、 The use of anticoagulants for blood collection

The commonly used anticoagulants for blood collection can be divided into heparin salt (heparin sodium and heparin lithium), EDTA potassium salt (EDTA dipotassium and EDTA tripotassium), and sodium citrate. Their use performance can determine whether they are harmful. Its performance is as follows:

 

1. Heparin salt: Adding a prepared heparin salt solution to a test tube can inhibit the coagulation process from the source, prevent blood clotting, and facilitate the separation of serum and plasma in the later stage.

 

2. EDTA potassium salt: This is an internationally recognized ideal anticoagulant reagent that mainly utilizes the ability to chelate calcium ions to delay blood coagulation, and can fully ensure the stability of blood components.

 

3. Sodium citrate: Although it is less commonly used in clinical practice, it also has special effects. With its ability to form soluble chelates with calcium substances in blood samples, it is suitable for coagulation testing.

 

2、 Ingredients of blood collection anticoagulants

Most of its components are organic compounds, such as heparin and artificially prepared sodium salts, while EDTA potassium salts are composed of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid and potassium salts. These components do not contain any toxicity, and after contact with blood, they will not produce any other reactions except for anticoagulant effects.

 

3、 Is anticoagulant for blood collection harmful

In addition to its own properties, anticoagulants are almost odorless, odorless, non-toxic, and harmless, especially when added to test tubes without contact with the human body, which can fully prove that they will not be harmful to the body. However, there are also some details that cannot be ignored, which are that during the production process, the anticoagulant may deteriorate, discolor, or produce odors, which may produce harmful gases and endanger health. Therefore, it is necessary to immediately give up using it.

 

As a supplier of raw materials for blood collection additives, Desheng has been producing a large amount of anticoagulants for a long time, and there has been no harm to the body during the production process, which is enough to prove that anticoagulants are harmless.
