Heparin lithium is a commonly used blood anticoagulant, widely used in clinical testing. Its mechanism of action is that heparin can bind to antithrombin III, significantly accelerating its inactivation of serine proteases such as thrombin, thereby blocking the coagulation cascade reaction and effectively preventing blood clotting.

Heparin lithium is usually used in conjunction with inert separation gel (light green cap) in vacuum blood collection tubes. After blood collection and centrifugation, the separation gel will form a physical barrier between serum/plasma and blood cells, achieving rapid separation of plasma. This plasma sample can not only be directly used for instrument detection, but also stably stored for 48 hours under refrigeration conditions.

Heparin lithium anticoagulant tubes are the preferred choice for electrolyte (such as potassium, sodium, chlorine) testing and are also suitable for routine plasma biochemistry and emergency testing, but not for coagulation tests and white blood cell classification.

Emergency Biochemistry and Electrolytes: Used for detecting potassium, sodium, chloride, calcium ions, which can restore the true concentration in the body to the greatest extent possible and avoid errors.

Plasma biochemistry project: suitable for the detection of routine biochemical indicators such as liver function, kidney function, blood glucose, and myocardial enzyme spectrum.

Blood gas analysis: Due to its rapid liquid anticoagulation and no impact on acid-base balance, it is a commonly used additive in blood gas analysis blood collection tubes.
