Chromogenic assays

BIOPHEN Heparin 3 (CE Marked)
510k cleared for in vitro medical diagnostic testing

Clotting, Deficient Plasmas, & Chromogenic Assays products are available worldwide

Chromogenic anti-Xa method for measuring homogeneously heparin (UFH) and Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH), using the same calibration curve (kinetics method, one stage). The assay can also be used for testing heparin analogues, such as Sodium Danaparoid (Orgaran®), or Pentasaccharide (Fondaparinux). Automatic or Manual method.
