Introducing DOAC-Stop L™ and DOAC-Stop µ™ to the range of neutralisers available from Haematex. These products have been optimized for small testing volumes, or can be used on whole blood. Dr Tom also discusses the effect of DOAC-Stop™ on Bivalirudin, and the consequences of small particles left over in plasma after centrifuging DOAC-Stop™.
Dr Thomas Exner talks about a new in-vitro diagnostic test for DOACs called DOAC-Test (now called Go-DOAC™)
Coagulation expert Dr Tom Exner talks about the discovery and history of Factor IX. A deficiency of Factor IX is also known as Haemophilia B.

Dr Thomas Exner talks about the problem of Heparin contamination in APTT testing. A previous study (link below) showed that heparin was responsible for 39% of unexpectedly prolonged APTT tests in patient samples where the patient was not taking heparin (or warfarin). Haematex offers HRRS/Antihepca for neutralizing heparin. It replaces the usual M/40 calcium chloride solution in APTT and KCT tests to virtually eliminate the effect of unfractionated heparin concentrations up to 1 u/ml in normal plasma.
