The CoaguChek aPTT Test is an in-vitro assay for the evaluation of unfractionated heparin and the quantitative determination of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) in patients with suspected deficiencies of coagulation factors of the intrinsic and common coagulation pathways, with the exception of fibrinogen using the CoaguChek Pro II meter. The test can be used with either capillary, venous, or arterial fresh whole blood.
Designed for Reliable aPTT TestingRoche CoaguChek aPTT Test Strips are engineered for professionals seeking swift, reliable results in coagulation diagnostics. Using advanced electrochemical technology, these strips accurately measure aPTT from whole blood samples, aiding in anticoagulation management. Their high accuracy adheres to manufacturer standards, providing confidence in every test run.
Efficient Workflow and Easy OperationThe test strips are disposable and individually sealed in vials containing a desiccant, maintaining their usability throughout their shelf life (typically 12-24 months). Each strip requires only manual insertion into the analyzer and a small sample volume, making them suitable for busy medical environments where speed and reliability are paramount.
Versatile Application in Healthcare SettingsWhether at the bedside, in a laboratory, or outpatient clinic, these CoaguChek test strips are ideal for point-of-care coagulation assessment. Their portability, rapid results, and minimal sample requirement streamline coagulation diagnostics, supporting excellent patient care and timely clinical interventions.
