Factor Assays Robert Gosselin MT (ASCP), CLS
Most labs: Clot based: Modified PT or aPTT PT based: usually II, V, VII, X aPTT based: usually VIII, IX, XI, XII Chromogenic Antigenic - ELISA
Coagulation Testing in the Clinical Laboratory Prothrombin times (PT) PP Plasma + Activator (+ CaCl2) ClotDetection 37oC Activated partial thromboplastin times (aPTT) PP Plasma + Activators CaCl2 Clot Detection 37oC Optical methods: change in turbidity Mechnical methods: change in motion
Coagulation Testing in the Clinical Laboratory Factor VIII assay: clot based Dil PP Plasma + Factor VIII deficient plasma + Activators Clot detection CaCl2 37oC
