5.3 Technical Data
Instrument type Analyzer for determination of plasmic clotting.
Application coagulometric tests such as PT, aPTT, TZ,
Fibrinogen, single factors FII - FXII
Restrictions only for traditional, coagulometric clotting tests (no
chromogenic substrates).
Operation manual
Measuring principle turbodensitometric; opto-mechanical with
automatic zero adjustment and magnetic stir bar
for homogenizing of the test suspension and
increased sensitivity.
