Introducing the new HITAlert™ Kit

Flow Cytometry kit from IQ Products, for the functional analysis of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a distinct immune-mediated state in which laboratory detection of the antibodies is extremely useful. This functional flow cytometric assay assesses the ability of a test sample to activate platelets in the presence of heparin.

HITAlert™ Kit Features

  • Functional assessment of platelet activation where reactivity is independent of PF4
  • Complete kit with ready-to-use reagents & controls
  • Non-radioactive approach utilizing standard flow cytometry
  • Rapid results (<2 hours)
  • Specifically detects heparin-complexed antibodies, includingIL-8/heparin & NAP-2/heparin complexed antibodies

HITAlert™ Test Principle:

Donor platelets (PRP) + test sample + heparin = platelet activation?

Samples

(1) PRP + heparin (blank)
(2) Positive control (chemical)
(3) PRP + test sample
(4) PRP + test sample + heparin
(5) PRP + test sample + high dose heparin
