How to Choose a Right Haemostasis system for your Clinical Lab
Haemostasis – Background Hemostasis is a collective term used to describe the body’s defence mechanism to prevent blood loss and finally dissolve the clot all via combination of multiple complex physiological process coming together. This fine balance of haemorrhage and thrombosis is termed as hemostasis and any imbalance in either or both can a fatal […]
SAMPLE COLLECTION AND PRE-ANALYTICAL ERRORS IN COAGULATION TESTING
In haemostasis, even more than any other disciplines, quality in test reporting is determined by a very significant step i.e pre-analytical Pre-analytical errors may occur throughout the testing process and arise from unsuitable, inappropriate or wrongly handled procedures. The accurate standardization of the pre-analytical phase is of pivotal importance for achieving reliable results of […]
The DUAL TECHNOLOGY explained on FibriTimer Zeta -1
What is a coagulation (Haemostasis) analyzer? The Haemostasis analyzer serves as an important diagnostic tool (laboratory device) on patient’s (blood) sample so as to analyse and detect bleeding/clotting disorders by performing tests like Prothrombin Time (PT), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT), Thrombin Time (TT), Fibrinogen (FIB), Factor Assay Testing (Fac 2,5,7,8,9,10,11,12,13), Lupus Testing (LA Panel), […]
Coagulation Reagents: Key for Accurate Blood Clotting Analysis
Coagulation reagents are among the most important reagents applied in clinical laboratories for evaluating defects in bleeding and thrombotic functions. They enable proper assessment of clotting disorders, which in turn help clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of events like or related to haemophilia, thrombosis, or liver diseases. They thus form an important aspect of […]
qLabs PT/APTT Monitoring System Monitoring the Effectiveness of Blood Thinning Medication
A PT/INR test helps ensure the effectiveness of the anticoagulant drug warfarin (Coumadin®) and that prothrombin time and internationally normalized ratio is appropriately prolonged. PT-INR tests measure the blood’s ability to clot. Blood normally clots to slow down it’s flow in response to the damage of blood vessels, in order to prevent excessive bleeding. A clot formed inappropriately in […]
