Coagulation Reagents

Coagulation Reagents – Coagulation Controls

Coagulation is the process by which blood clots are formed, thus preventing blood loss after a wound or an operation. We specialise in APTT, PT High sens reagents & our coagulation reagents can be used to screen for coagulation disorders.

Coagulation defects can cause haemorrhaging or thromboses and be broadly subdivided into:

  • Platelet disorders, which can be either congenital or acquired
  • Coagulation factor disorders, the best known of which is haemophilia

What are coagulation reagents

Coagulation Reagents are specialised substances used in diagnostic testing to assess the clotting mechanisms of blood.

These reagents play a crucial role in haematology, particularly in the fields of health screening, disease diagnosis, and management of conditions related to blood clotting.

Coagulation reagents work by initiating the coagulation cascade in a controlled environment and are used to determine various factors such as clotting time, concentration of clotting factors, and efficiency of platelet aggregation in blood samples.

These evaluations are vital in diagnosing coagulation disorders like haemophilia, thrombosis, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), as well as in monitoring anticoagulant therapy.

Coagulation Defect Screening

Prestige Diagnostics is recognised for its quality and has ISO:13485:2016 certification. As a UK coagulation reagent manufacturer, all our coagulation reagents carry the UKCA mark of the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency), the relevant executive agency of the UK government.

Our Coagulation products are approved for sale in Great Britain and can be supplied with the relevant certification, for distribution around the world.

Contact us here for more information, our team of specialists are always happy to help.

APTT and PT High-Sensitivity Reagents

Easy to use and yielding quick results, our haematology/haemostasis reagents are stable and reliable. They are compatible with manual, automated and semi-automated methods.
Our PT high-sensitivity kits are designed as lyophilised reagents for increased shelf life and maximum stability. They are suitable for photo-optical and turbo-densitometric systems.

Our APTT kits contain a reagent for the determination of activated partial thromboplastin. We also supply lyophilised coagulation controls.

What are coagulation reagents used for?

Coagulation reagents are integral components in medical diagnostics, used specifically for evaluating the blood’s ability to clot properly. They serve a critical role in various medical scenarios, from routine health screenings to emergency medicine.

Coagulation reagents work by initiating the coagulation cascade in a controlled environment and are used to determine various factors such as clotting time, concentration of clotting factors, and efficiency of platelet aggregation in blood samples. These evaluations are vital in diagnosing coagulation disorders like haemophilia, thrombosis, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), as well as in monitoring anticoagulant therapy.

These reagents are crucial for healthcare providers in several contexts:

  • Disease Diagnosis: They aid in the diagnosis of diseases that affect blood clotting, helping healthcare professionals identify conditions that could lead to excessive bleeding or clotting disorders.
  • Pre-Surgical Screening: Coagulation reagents are used in preoperative settings to assess a patient’s bleeding risk before surgery, ensuring patient safety.
  • Therapy Monitoring: They’re essential in monitoring the effectiveness of treatments involving anticoagulant medications, ensuring that patients receive the correct dosages and assessing responses to therapy.
  • Emergency Medicine: In urgent care, they are used to quickly assess bleeding disorders in trauma patients or those experiencing unexplained bleeding, helping guide immediate treatment decisions.

By enabling the detailed analysis of blood coagulation, these reagents assist in preventing complications and guiding appropriate and timely medical interventions, thereby playing a significant role in patient care and treatment outcomes.
