Heparin interferes with albumin determination by dye-binding methods. 1979

P Bonvicini, and G Ceriotti, and M Plebani, and G Volpe

Heparin, when added in vitro at rather high concentrations (400--1000 kilounits/L) as an anticoagulant, interferes with albumin determination by bromcresol green by forming an insoluble precipitate with this dye. The interference is much less with bromcresol purple. It can be abolished by addition of hexadimethrine bromide.

D006493 Heparin A highly acidic mucopolysaccharide formed of equal parts of sulfated D-glucosamine and D-glucuronic acid with sulfaminic bridges. The molecular weight ranges from six to twenty thousand. Heparin occurs in and is obtained from liver, lung, mast cells, etc., of vertebrates. Its function is unknown, but it is used to prevent blood clotting in vivo and vitro, in the form of many different salts.
