Method and analytical system for performing fibrinogen assays accurately, rapidly and simply using a rotating magnetic field

摘要

A method of performing a quantitative fibrinogen assay is provided which uses a dry reagent chemistry in combination with a rotational magnetic field and which has excellent correlation with the Fibrometer, the gold standard in the industry. Additionally, an apparatus for conducting the assay, a qualitative fibrinogen assay and a method for preparing a calibration curve for use with the quantitative fibrinogen assay are provided.
