Abstract
Meizothrombin- and thrombin-inhibiting inhibitors which do not bind bivalent cations and which are used for the anticoagulant pretreatment of blood samples to be used in the determination of the functions and/or changes of state of blood cells and blood corpuscles, and for treating devices and receptacles used for taking and/or receiving blood samples.
Claims20
A method for determining meizothrombin- and thrombin-independent functions and properties of blood cells which comprises treating a blood sample with a meizothrombin and thrombin inhibitor which does not bind bivalent cations, and measuring the meizothrombin- and thrombin-independent functions and properties of blood cells in the blood sample.
A device or receptacle for taking or receiving blood samples for the measurement of meizothrombin- and thrombinindependent functions and properties of blood cells in the blood sample which is charged with a meizothrombin and thrombin inhibitor which does not bind bivalent cations.
