METHOD OF DETERMINATION OF FIBRINOGEN CONTENT IN ANTICOAGULATED WHOLE BLOOD Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: laboratory diagnosis. SUBSTANCE: quantitative determination of the content of blood plasma fibrinogen is accomplished on a sample of anticoagulated whole blood placed in a sampling test glass. This test glass represents a transparent centrifugal test glass that contains a specimen of a sectional elongated float. The blood sample is centrifuged in a tube containing the float, and different cell components are measured; after that the centrifuged sample is heated, and centrifugation is repeated so as to cause spinning-down of a layer of fibrinogen on the top of the float, separated from the strip of light clot of blood in the plasma layer. Then the thickness of the fibrinogen layer is measured; quantitative determination of the fibrinogen content in the blood sample may be accomplished, if a precalibrated instrument is used. EFFECT: provision of supervision of the health condition of people in the early stage of deviation from the norm. 1 dwg
