Lithium Heparin Tubes

Lithium heparin tubes are the most commonly used type of anticoagulant blood collection tube. They are used for the collection of whole blood or plasma for various laboratory tests, such as chemistry, immunology, and therapeutic drug monitoring. The lithium heparin in these tubes prevents coagulation of the blood by inhibiting the action of thrombin and other coagulation factors. This allows the blood to be kept in its liquid state for analysis.
