TGA Testing Products
Thrombin Generation Assay (TGA) is a more global downstream read out for the kinetics of thrombin generation during initiation, amplification and down regulation of thrombin formation from activation of proteins in the coagulation cascade, like PKA and FXIa. Technothrombin® TGA is a complete fluorogenic tool for a broad range of applications and is therefore a universal assay kit for analyzing and researching the function of the hemostatic system.
