APTT (Act. Thromboplastine Time)

The APTT kit from Cypress Diagnostics allows testing of the intrinsic coagulation pathway. The APTT reagent, a rabbit brain extract phospholipid, is highly sensitive to decreased levels of factors VIII, IX, XI and XII, prekallikrein and kininogen (intrinsic coagulation pathway) and factors II, V, X and fibrinogen (common end of coagulation pathway), as well as to hereditary or acquired coagulation disorders and liver failure. Therefore, the APTT kit from Cypress Diagnostics is intended for presurgical screening, monitoring during heparin therapy, and determination of the activity of the intrinsic coagulation pathway.
