Description

Heparin Lithium Salt CAS NO 9045-22-1 is a purified, lithium-stabilized form of the naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan, heparin. This anticoagulant agent is critical for ensuring the integrity of blood and plasma samples in clinical diagnostics and research. It is an essential reagent for manufacturers of blood collection tubes, in-vitro diagnostic kits, and research laboratories focused on hematology and coagulation studies.

Application

• Anticoagulant for Blood Collection Tubes: Primary use as a stabilizer in plasma separator tubes (PST) and other blood collection systems for clinical chemistry testing.
• In-Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) Reagents: Key component in the formulation of diagnostic assays and kits for coagulation studies, clinical chemistry analyzers, and point-of-care testing devices.
• Biochemical Research: Used in laboratory studies of blood coagulation cascades, platelet function, and enzyme inhibition mechanisms.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a starting material or intermediate in the production of low molecular weight heparins and other heparin-derived therapeutics.
• Cell Culture & Tissue Engineering: Employed in certain media formulations and biomaterial coatings to modulate cell growth and differentiation.
