How to detect electrolytes with lithium heparin

With the arrival of hot summer weather, heatstroke incidents occur frequently. After patients with severe heatstroke are sent to the hospital, doctors will recommend electrolyte testing to check whether there is ion disorder in the patient's blood. This is an important test used to determine whether the patient's intracellular and extracellular osmotic pressure is balanced. By examining blood chloride, blood potassium, blood sodium, blood chloride, etc., it is possible to determine whether there are abnormal levels of electrolytes in the human body.

Only when the electrolyte concentration in the human body is within the normal range, can the body metabolize normally. When patients experience symptoms such as poisoning, convulsions, and coma, electrolyte testing can be used to determine whether the electrolytes in the body are disrupted, and thus prescribe the right medicine. So it is particularly important to choose appropriate blood collection tube additives during electrolyte testing. Under normal circumstances, the combination of heparin lithium and serum separation gel yields better results. Serum separation gel can quickly extract serum, while heparin lithium promotes blood coagulation.

Heparin lithium is chosen among many anticoagulants because its anticoagulant principle is to activate antithrombin III in the blood, inactivate serine protease, prevent the formation of thrombin, inhibit platelet aggregation, and thus achieve anticoagulant effect. It is not easy to interfere with the determination of potassium ions, sodium ions, chloride ions, etc., so it does not affect the experimental results. Early detection of electrolytes used heparin sodium as an anticoagulant, but the effect was not ideal. Later, with the advancement of technology, heparin lithium replaced heparin sodium in electrolyte detection.

The heparin lithium produced by Desheng has high purity, good water solubility, no odor or impurities, an average molecular weight of 15000, and stable performance at room temperature. When conducting electrolyte testing, it is recommended to use it in conjunction with the serum separation gel produced by Desheng Company for better results! In addition to heparin lithium and serum separation gel, Desheng has also independently developed blood clotting agents, silicification agents, heparin sodium, EDTA dipotassium and other blood collection tube additives to meet the one-stop shopping experience of blood collection tube manufacturers.
