Product Overview
Heparin Sodium Pure, provided in a convenient 20,000 Unit vial, is a highly purified glycosaminoglycan essential for a wide range of laboratory applications. Known for its potent anticoagulant properties, this product plays a critical role in preventing blood clotting in various in vitro experimental settings, making it indispensable for blood collection, processing, and storage in research laboratories across India. Our Heparin Sodium is carefully processed to ensure exceptional purity, minimizing potential interferences and ensuring consistent, reproducible results for your sensitive assays. It functions by enhancing the activity of antithrombin III, an enzyme that inactivates several coagulation factors, thereby effectively inhibiting the clotting cascade. This precise mechanism of action makes it a preferred choice for researchers requiring stringent control over their experimental conditions. The lyophilized powder form ensures excellent stability and a prolonged shelf life, allowing for convenient storage and easy reconstitution when needed. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of scientific inquiry, this Heparin Sodium Pure offers reliability and performance, empowering students, researchers, and educators to achieve accurate and significant findings in their biochemical and physiological studies.
2. How should I reconstitute Heparin Sodium Pure from its lyophilized form?
To reconstitute, carefully add a sterile solvent, such as distilled water or saline, to the vial. Gently swirl until the powder is completely dissolved. Always refer to specific protocol requirements for concentration and solvent type.
3. What is the recommended storage condition for this Heparin Sodium product?
For optimal stability and shelf life, Heparin Sodium Pure should be stored in a cool, dry place, typically between 2-8°C, away from direct light. Once reconstituted, solutions should be stored according to experimental guidelines, often refrigerated or frozen.
4. Is this grade of Heparin Sodium suitable for cell culture work?
While Heparin Sodium Pure is of high quality, its suitability for specific cell culture applications depends on the cells and experimental goals. Researchers should verify compatibility and potential effects on cell viability or function with their specific cell lines.
5. Are there any known incompatibilities when using Heparin Sodium?
Heparin Sodium can be incompatible with certain basic drugs or highly acidic solutions, leading to precipitation. It can also bind to and affect the activity of various proteins and enzymes, so compatibility with other reagents should be considered for specific experimental setups.
FAQs
1. What is the primary role of Heparin Sodium in a laboratory setting?
Heparin Sodium is primarily used as an anticoagulant in laboratories to prevent blood samples from clotting, which is crucial for various hematological tests and research requiring non-coagulated blood or plasma.
