  • Method for performing activated clotting time test with reduced sensitivity to the presence of aprotinin and for assessing aprotinin sensitivity
    Patent number: 6632678
    Abstract: A coagulation test for determining the activated clotting time (ACT) of blood in the presence of heparin that produces test results that are substantially insensitive to the drug aprotinin. The activator is formulated to be a combination of celite and bentonite. The ACT results obtained with this formulation are similar to celite ACT tests on heparinized blood while simultaneously being unaffected by aprotinin. Additionally, a method for quantifying the aprotinin effect of different ACT formulations is disclosed.
