Storage Of Heparin Sodium

 Heparin Sodium is a kind of blood anticoagulant in vitro, which is mainly extracted from the mucous membrane organs of pigs or cattle. It belongs to mucopolysaccharides. It is white powder, which can absorb moisture and has good water solubility. As an anticoagulant added to the anticoagulant tube, it has a certain storage time, so let's introduce the storage of heparin sodium specifically.

Storage of heparin sodium after addition

At present, heparin sodium anticoagulant tubes in most hospitals have been sprayed with heparin sodium solution in advance, and sealed with a cover. The shelf life is about 2 years. It can be stored in a ventilated and dark environment at room temperature. Heparin sodium is an organic substance that can provide support for microorganisms. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure sterility during the process of adding heparin sodium solution and conduct sterilization after the preparation.

Storage of heparin sodium solution

As a common anticoagulant, heparin sodium is a dry powder produced by most manufacturers, mainly for the convenience of transportation and storage. However, it needs to be prepared into a solution in the process of use. The solution should not be stored in an open environment for a long time. It is better to prepare and use immediately, otherwise it is easy to breed bacteria and cause deterioration.

Storage of heparin sodium anticoagulant tube after blood collection

After the blood sample is collected, because its performance can prevent the collected blood sample from coagulating, it is necessary to ensure that the blood cannot coagulate during storage. It is generally recommended that the heparin anticoagulant tube should not be stored for a long time after blood collection, and the test should be completed within 6 hours at the latest.

If the test cannot be completed within the specified time under special circumstances, the heparin sodium anticoagulant tube after blood collection shall be quickly stored in the refrigerator at 4 ℃ in advance to ensure that the test can be completed within 24 hours. However, it should be noted that the premise of the above storage conditions is that the heparin anticoagulant tube is well sealed and there is no foreign matter.
