CDHealth Evacuated Blood Collection Tube (Lithium Heparin)

Description

The CDHealth Evacuated Blood Collection Tube (Lithium Heparin) is a sterile, vacuum-based tube designed for collecting, transporting, and storing blood samples for clinical laboratory testing. Here’s a detailed description:

Key Features:

1. Anticoagulant: Contains Lithium Heparin, which prevents blood clotting by inhibiting thrombin and other clotting factors, making it suitable for plasma separation.

2. Tube Color: Typically green (or green-gray) stopper for easy identification.

3. Volume: Available in various sizes (e.g., 2 mL, 3 mL, 5 mL, 10 mL) depending on requirements.

4. Material: Made of high-quality PET (plastic) or glass, with a safety-engineered closure to reduce exposure risks.

5. Vacuum Pressure: Precisely calibrated to ensure correct blood-to-additive ratios.

6. Sterility: Individually wrapped and sterilized to prevent contamination.

7. Applications: Used for chemistry tests, hormone assays, electrolyte studies, and other plasma-based analyses.

Intended Use:

• Collects blood samples for plasma separation in clinical diagnostics.

• Compatible with automated analyzers and centrifugation.

• Suitable for EDTA-sensitive tests where heparin is preferred.

Storage & Handling:

• Store at room temperature (unless specified otherwise).

• Protect from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

• Use before the expiration date printed on the tube.

Safety & Compliance:

• Manufactured under ISO and GMP standards.
