Technoclot® PT Owren manual, 10x10ml

Technoclot® PT Owren (manual) is a thromboplastin reagent modified according to Owren for the quantitative determination of Prothrombin Time (PT) in human citrated plasma and capillary blood. The reagent is enriched with bovine plasma from which the prothrombin complex factors II, VII and X have been removed. The bovine plasma remains a source of fibrinogen and factor V, which therefore cannot be detected by the test.

Technoclot® PT Owren replaces Thrombotest® and Normotest®.

The reagent is lyophilized and contains rabbit brain thromboplastin and adsorbed bovine plasma. The adsorbed plasma is added as a source of factor V and fibrinogen. Technoclot® PT Owren manual is a combined thromboplastin which already contains CaCl2.
