REAGENT AND PROCEDURE FOR PHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF THROMBOPLASTIN TIME, REAGENT PREPARATION AND APPLICATION

摘要

A reagent for the photometric determination of the prothrombin time is described. The reagent contains a thromboplastin and a chromogenic substrate for thrombin, wherein this substrate is cleaved by the thromboplastin at only a low reaction rate. This reagent can be used for the determination of coagulation factors with the use of deficient plasma. Also disclosed is a method of preparing the reagent.
