Factor II (Prothrombin) Deficient Plasma

Description

Deficient plasma (lyophilized) for the assay of prothrombin. All the clotting factors are present (constant and in the normal range, brought by the deficient plasma), except for FII, which is brought by the diluted tested plasma. Clotting is triggered with calcium thromboplastin. FII is the limiting factor and clotting time is inversely proportional to the concentration of FII.

Intended use

Measurement of factor II (FII / prothrombin) activity in human citrated plasma using a clotting method, triggered with calcium thromboplastin.
For any in vitro protocol or research study where a source of human prothrombin deficient plasma is required.
