MDA Platelin LS

MDA Platelin LS is a test kit for use in the determination of the Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) in human plasma. The kit consists of a phospholipid reagent with particulate activators and a calcium chloride reagent.

The Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) assay is a universally accepted screening procedure used to detect abnormalities in the intrinsic coagulation system. It can be used to detect deficiencies of Factors II, V, VIII, IX, X, XI, and XII but is insensitive to platelet factor 3. In addition, it can be used to detect lupus anticoagulants and is recommended when monitoring heparin therapy since it is sensitive to the presence of heparin. The APTT is used to perform factor assays for the intrinsic system; namely Factors II, V, VIII, IX, X, XI, and XII. The APTT assay is not recommended for monitoring oral anticoagulant therapy nor is it sensitive to platelet dysfunction. These conditions are better monitored by a prothrombin time assay or a bleeding time test, respectively.
MDA Platelin LS Reagent is mixed with patient plasma to provide optimal and uniform activation of the sample. After activation at 37°C, the reaction is initiated by the addition of MDA Platelin LS Calcium Chloride. The time, in seconds, required for clot formation is measured.
