A rapid, quantitative determination of clottable fibrinogen unaffected by heparin
Abstract
A turbidimetric assay for clottable plasma fibrinogen which is not sensitive to heparin or Pyran inhibition is described. The basis of the assay is the substitution of Reptilase-R for the thrombin usually employed. The assay correlates very well with a thrombin turbidimetric method and also has other advantages, including better stability of the clotting enzyme and more rapid attainment of equilibrium.
