A rapid, quantitative determination of clottable fibrinogen unaffected by heparin

E J Hershgold et al. Am J Clin Pathol. 1975 Feb.

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.
