Recombinant Prothrombin Time (PT) reagent
The liquid-stable reagent from Analyticon is produced by utilizing the most advanced technology in PT testing as it is based on a recombinant human tissue factor (TF). It is used for the quantitative determination of Prothrombin Time (PT) in human citrated plasma and the evaluation of extrinsic coagulation factor assays II, V, VII and X. The sensitivity of PT tests towards vitamin K-dependent clotting factors strongly depends upon the source and type of the TF. Since the recombinant TF in the PT reagent from Analyticon does not contain any contaminating coagulation factors it is particularly appropriate for extrinsic pathway factor assays and for monitoring oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT). The recombinant PT is a liquid-stable reagent with excellent open and closed vial stability (> 12 months at 2-8°). The instrument-based ISI of approximately 1.0 has been calibrated against an International Reference Preparation for accurate INR results. An ISI values of 1.0 or below demonstrates the sensitivity and responsiveness towards oral anticoagulants.
