Pipette tip and uses and methods thereof
The present invention provides a pipette tip, which can be used in in-vitro diagnostics, in particular in the diagnostic testing of body fluids, such as in coagulation testing. The Pipette tip contains two constituents in a spatially separated manner. The present invention furthermore provides a method of performing such diagnostics, e.g. coagulation analysis, and to the use of the pipette tip in such diagnostic testing.
Assay for quantifying polyphosphates
Provided herein are compositions and methods for quantifying polyphosphates. In particular, provided herein are solution and substrate based assays for quantifying polyphosphates in complex samples.
Blood collection tube, reagent, and method for analyzing blood characteristics using same
A method for analyzing thrombogenic capacity or blood coagulation capacity, the method comprising adding calcium, a blood coagulation factor XII (FXII) inhibitor, and a kallikrein inhibitor to blood collected with a blood collection tube containing sodium citrate, to allow initiation of blood coagulation reaction, is provided. Preferably, heparin, heparan sulfate, and tissue factor are further added to the blood, and thrombogenic capacity or blood coagulation capacity is analyzed.

REAGENT FOR PROTHROMBIN TIME MEASUREMENT, METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF, AND METHOD FOR MEASUREMENT OF PROTHROMBIN TIME
Disclosed is a reagent for prothrombin time measurement, containing a tissue factor and a surfactant, wherein the value of formula (I), which is represented by (surfactant amount (μmol))/(total protein amount (μg)), is 0.013 to 0.05 μmol/μg.
REAGENT FOR PROTHROMBIN TIME MEASUREMENT, METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF, AND METHOD FOR MEASUREMENT OF PROTHROMBIN TIME
Disclosed is a reagent for prothrombin time measurement, wherein the reagent contains a liposome composition containing a first liposome having a phospholipid layer, a second liposome having a phospholipid layer of a different composition from that of the first liposome, and tissue factor, wherein the tissue factor is associated with the phospholipid layer of at least one of the first liposome and the second liposome; the first liposome contains a phosphatidylcholine compound, a phosphatidylethanolamine compound, and a phosphatidylserine compound; and the second liposome contains at least one phospholipid selected from the group consisting of a phosphatidylcholine compound and a phosphatidylethanolamine compound.
METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE STRUCTURAL PROFILE OF A FIBRIN CLOT REFLECTING THE STABILITY THEREOF, IN ORDER TO PREDICT THE RISK OF BLEEDING, THROMBOSIS OR RETHROMBOSIS
The present invention relates to a method for dynamically determining the structural profile of a fibrin clot, reflecting the stability thereof in a biological sample of a patient. The method preferably includes a step that makes it possible to predict the risk of bleeding, thrombosis or rethrombosis and to select the anticoagulant that is best suited to the clinical situation of a patient.
Two Component "Mix and Use" Liquid Thromboplastin Reagent, Methods of Making, and Methods of Use Thereof
What is described is a kit for preparing a liquid thromboplastin reagent for a prothrombin time assay. The kit simplifies and minimizes reagent preparation time and is stable for 2-5 years.
