While in some labs there is a need for PT, aPTT, D Dimer, and fibrinogen, others such as blood banks routinely perform fibrinogen and Factor VIII. Another customer set, specializing in coagulopathy, tests for certain rare parameters. However, not all available systems are equipped to cater to these requirements. Also in need of immediate attention are: not having small reagent pack sizes for D Dimer and unavailability of timely service in remote areas.  More...
