Lecture 10:
Coagulation Instruments
Evaluation of Coagulation tests:
Manual Method:
Coagulometers:
Semiautomated Method.
Automated Method.
Manual methods were used at the begining,
then semi-automatic equipments appeared
based on photometric or mechanical principles
to detect fibrin. More recently, fully automated
instruments have become common in modern
laboratories.
Today, new equipment connected to specific
data processing systems can undertake clotting,
Chromogenic, and immunological tests.
Automation has contributed to improvements
in standardization and facilitating tests
improve lab efficiency and repertoire
Manual Method
All reagents and samples are added
manually by the operator.
Electrochemical
Mechanical
Two primary methodologies are utilized for
mechanical detection of clot formation.
