Anti-Factor Xa Activity for Low Molecular Weight Heparin
to:
The following procedure is used where specified in the individual monographs. This assay can be performed manually in plastic tubes utilizing heated block stations or water bath. Microtiter plate equipment with a reader and automated coagulometer can improve reproducibility and throughput. Acetic acid solution (stopping solution) is used for manual and microtiter plate assay. Automated coagulometers measure initial kinetic rate, and because of that, stopping of the reaction is not needed.
