Principle
DIAGNOS APTT is a liquid Cephaloplastin reagent activated with Ellagic acid. The method is responsive to coagulation factors of the intrinsic path way in plasma in the presence of calcium ions. The deficiency of one or the more clotting factors of the intrinsic path way and also the presence of heparin (coagulation inhibitor) prolongs Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) of the plasma. The time taken for the clot to form is measured and used to determine the Anticoagulant status of the patient.
