LaboratoryClot firmness reduction [Length fraction] in Blood by Thromboelastography --60 min p max clot amplitude + heparinase
Definition
In this assay, the reduction of clot firmness (i.e., clot lysis), is measured 60 minutes after maximum clot amplitude is reached. Heparinase is added prior to starting the assay in order to eliminate interference by any heparin that is in the patient's sample.
