  • Method for the determination of coagulation parameters
    Patent number: 5552296
    Abstract: In a method for the determination of coagulation parameters in sample material via a reaction cascade in which a thrombin-catalyzed formation of a fibrin clot from fibrin monomers occurs and the formation of the fibrin clot is measured, an inhibitor of F XIII is added. By this means the reaction vessel can be used several times for coagulation tests.

  • Method and reagent for the determination of antithrombin III
    Patent number: 5320945
    Abstract: In order to determine antithrombin III in body fluids by reacting the sample with thrombin and a chromogenic substrate which forms a colour by the action of thrombin and measurement of the colour formed, the reaction is carried out in the presence of denaturing agents or of the tetrapeptide Gly-Pro-Arg-Pro and an oligopeptide is used as the substrate which has a sensitivity to thrombin which is a factor of 5 to 100-fold lower compared With Tos-Gly-Pro-Arg-pNA
