Japanese term

ヘパリン採血

Japanese to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals blood sampling
投与後に...右左側腕橈側皮静脈より交互にヘパリン採血した。

This appears in a pharmacokinetics study of a drug (unrelated to heparin).

Can anyone with medical knowledge confirm whether this means blood sampling using a heparin coated collection tube (or perhaps something else) rather than 'collection of heparin'?

To collect blood using a heparin containing vacutainer

I could be wrong and I am just speaking from my medical background and daily experience as a nurse. I think this is a case where an attempt is being made to collect blood from a location that is normally difficult to collect blood because it's easily coagulated, therefore heparinizing the blood to get it.
Heparin is a type of blood thinner that's most commonly used to thin the blood a little bit to make it easier to collect blood.

Most likely it means "to collect blood using a heparin containing vacutainer."http://www.bd.com/vacutainer/faqs/
I don't think it means "collection of heparin." Heparin is something that's injected into a human. It's not collected from a human.

Heparin is found in the body and it has a blood thinning effect. But I have never heard of a blood test that measure the level of heparin. The test that is used to check how thin the blood is or how fast it coagulates is PT/INR, or PTT, and those tests measure effects of particular drugs.
Note from asker:
Apparently it occurs naturally in the blood, but it does sound odd - and probably unfeasible ! - to collect it separately.

collect(ed) blood in heparin

I've googled "ヘパリン採血" and they all seem to mean to collect blood with heparin as an anticoagulant, whether that be to the pre-heparinized tube or into a syringe previously rinsed and coated with heparin containing saline or something of that nature.
