The Hart Biologicals Fiix™ Test Kit is a modified Thromboplastin reagent for use in researching anticoagulant therapy by venous blood Fiix™ Prothrombin times.
Replace traditional prothrombin time reagents with Fiix™ PT to study warfarin efficacy
How it works:
- The Fiix™ Test Kit is sensitive to the concentration of the clotting Factors II and X in the test sample.
- Factor VII is added to the system.
- Mixing whole blood sample/plasma sample with The Fiix™ Test Kit, results in the formation of a clot.
- The time taken for the clot to form is measured and used to determine the anticoagulant status of the sample.
- Each lot of The Fiix™ Test Kit is calibrated for Mean Normal Prothrombin Time (MNPT) and International Sensitivity Index (ISI).
- These values are used to determine the International Normalised Ratio (INR) of a sample derived from Prothrombin Time (PT) in seconds.
