Heparin 10,000 units/10 mL Vials

Curious to know if other institutions are stocking heparin 10,000 units/10 mL in their automated dispensing cabinets? If yes, what care areas and for what reason? We are reviewing where we store and how we use heparin vials, especially for HD. If you do not utilize the 10,000 units/10 mL vials which size do you use? Thanks!
